Location

Kismayo, Somalia

Kismayo Airport (IATA: KMU, ICAO: HCMK) is a civilian airport located in Kismayo, the capital of the Jubaland state in southern Somalia. It serves as the primary air access point for the region, supporting both commercial and humanitarian operations. The airport has historically been affected by the instability in Somalia, including periods of control by various armed factions.

Given Somalia's challenging infrastructure environment, the airport operates with limited facilities compared to international standards. It has been a focus of rehabilitation efforts by Somali authorities and international partners seeking to improve regional connectivity.
