About Kariba International Airport
Kariba Airport (IATA: KAB, ICAO: FVKB) is an international airport serving Kariba, Mashonaland West Province, Zimbabwe. It is 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the town, and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) east of the Kariba Dam, the outlet of Lake Kariba. The Kariba non-directional beacon (Ident: KB) is 3.6 nautical miles (6.7 km) west of the runway.
There have been calls from local politicians and tourism businesses for the modest airport to be refurbished.
Fastjet Zimbabwe announced that they would be introducing scheduled services to Kariba Airport from both Harare and Victoria Falls, commencing in late March 2023.
