About Hukuntsi Airport
Hukuntsi Airport is a small domestic airfield serving the village of Hukuntsi in the Kgalagadi District of southwestern Botswana. Its IATA code is HUK, and the single unpaved runway lies about 2.5 kilometres west of the village near a large salt pan.
The airport mainly supports light aircraft, charter flights, domestic connections and emergency or utility operations rather than large scheduled commercial traffic. Because of its limited infrastructure, passengers should confirm flight availability directly with their airline or local operator.
Hukuntsi is a small settlement in a remote part of the Kgalagadi, and ground transport options are limited. Visitors typically continue by pre-arranged vehicle, taxi or rental car to the village and other locations in the district.
Facilities at the airfield are basic, so travellers should prepare for a simple arrival and departure experience and arrange onward transport in advance.
