Nepalgunj Airport (IATA: KEP, ICAO: VNNG) is a domestic airport serving Nepalgunj, a major city in the Banke District of western Nepal near the Indian border. It functions as an important hub for air connectivity in the mid-western region, providing access to remote areas of Karnali and Sudurpashchim provinces that are otherwise difficult to reach by road. The airport handles both scheduled domestic flights and serves as a staging point for mountain and humanitarian flights into some of Nepal's most isolated districts. Airlines operating here connect Nepalgunj to Kathmandu and to numerous smaller airstrips throughout western Nepal, making it a critical lifeline for local communities and trekkers. Nepalgunj Airport is operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN). Its strategic location near the Nepal-India border also gives it some regional significance, and the airport has seen periodic infrastructure improvements to handle growing passenger traffic.
