Karonga Airport — Karonga, Malawi

Karonga Airport (KGJ) serves Karonga, a town in northern Malawi on the shores of Lake Malawi, near the border with Tanzania. The airport is small, with a basic runway supporting light aircraft, and has historically handled limited domestic traffic connecting the remote northern region to Lilongwe and other Malawian cities. Karonga has drawn some economic interest due to nearby coal mining and exploration activities, as well as potential oil and gas prospects under Lake Malawi, which has occasionally increased charter flight demand at KGJ. Otherwise, the airport mainly serves local government, NGO, and community transport needs in this lakeside region.
