Kitale Airport — Kitale, Kenya

It has a single asphalt runway near 4,757 feet, providing an air link for an agricultural region known for its farmland and its position as a gateway toward northwestern Kenya. The cool, elevated country around Kitale contrasts with the lower, hotter areas elsewhere in the country, and the town serves as a hub for the surrounding farming districts. The KTL code identifies this field, supporting regional travel and access to a productive highland corner of western Kenya near the Ugandan border.
