About Kasungu Airport
Kasungu Airport is a small domestic airfield serving Kasungu, a town in the Central Region of Malawi. It is managed by the Department of Civil Aviation and is used mainly for local operations, including serving as a base for drone activities in the area. The airport is located roughly 4 km from Kasungu town centre.
Operationally, the airport has a single runway (08/26) measuring approximately 1,200 metres by 17 metres with a bitumen surface. Facilities are basic, with aircraft parking space, weather information and a windsock available, but no fuel, ground handling, air traffic control, runway lighting or firefighting services.
Because of its small size and limited infrastructure, Kasungu Airport is best suited to private flights, light aircraft and humanitarian or specialist operations rather than large commercial traffic. Travellers arriving here normally continue into Kasungu or surrounding areas by private vehicle, taxi or locally arranged road transport.
Although it is not a major international gateway, the airfield plays a practical role in connecting the town of Kasungu to other parts of Malawi and supporting regional activities.
