About Kaya Airport
Kaya Airport (IATA: XKY, ICAO: DFCA) is a small public-use airport located near Kaya, the capital of Sanmatenga Province in Burkina Faso's Centre-Nord Region. It sits only a few kilometres from the town centre and provides a regional air link for the area.
Kaya is the fifth-largest city in Burkina Faso and lies about 100 km northeast of the capital, Ouagadougou, on the RN3 road toward Dori. The airport supports the town and surrounding province, with its grass runway used mainly for general aviation, charter and regional flights rather than large scheduled airline operations.
The airfield has basic infrastructure and a single runway, and passenger facilities are limited. Travelers using the airport typically arrange road transport in advance to continue into Kaya or onward to Ouagadougou and other destinations in northern Burkina Faso.
With its position near the town and the RN3 road corridor, Kaya Airport offers a small but practical access point for visitors, businesses and organizations travelling to the Centre-Nord Region.
