About Kelafo East Airport
Kelafo East Airport (IATA: LFO, ICAO: HAKL) is a small regional aerodrome serving Kelafo and the wider Somali Region in eastern Ethiopia. It provides a practical air link for a remote area along the Shebelle River, mainly for domestic flights and general aviation.
The airport lies roughly 18 km northeast of Kelafo town and operates with a single runway. Because of its small scale, passenger facilities are limited and operations focus on regional connections rather than large commercial airline services.
Road links connect the airport with Kelafo and the nearby town of Gode, which has a larger airport about 89 km away. After landing, most travellers continue their journey by road.
Located in a remote, low-density part of eastern Ethiopia near the Somali border, Kelafo East Airport functions primarily as a practical regional gateway for local travel and onward road journeys.
