Location
Kukës, Albania
Kukës International Airport (IATA: KFZ, ICAO: LAKU) is a small regional airport located near the city of Kukës in northeastern Albania. Situated close to the border with Kosovo, it serves as an access point for the mountainous region and is positioned along the major road corridor connecting Albania to Kosovo. The airport has limited scheduled commercial traffic and primarily handles seasonal or charter flights, reflecting the relatively small population of the surrounding region. Its development has been linked to broader infrastructure investments in northeastern Albania, including the improved road network connecting Tirana to Kosovo. Due to its modest scale, Kukës International Airport does not operate as a major hub but plays a role in regional connectivity, particularly for the Albanian diaspora and travelers crossing between Albania and Kosovo.
Terminals
The airport features a single small terminal building designed to handle limited passenger volumes.
Getting to & from
