Kukës International Airport
Kukës International Airport (KFZ) is located in northeastern Albania near the city of Kukës, close to the borders with Kosovo and North Macedonia. Despite carrying an international designation, the airport has seen very limited scheduled commercial activity since opening, with service starting and stopping over the years due to low demand in this mountainous, less-populated region. It was built partly to boost regional development and tourism access to the Albanian Alps. KFZ has a paved runway suitable for narrow-body jets, and periodic seasonal or charter flights, often linked to diaspora travel, have used the airport intermittently.
