Kabale Airport (ICAO: HUKB) is an airstrip serving Kabale,[4] a town in the Kabale District in the Western Region of Uganda. It is one of the 46 airports in the country.[5]

The airport is about 5 kilometres (3 mi) by road west of Kabale, on the Kabale-Kisoro Road.[6] It lies approximately 311 kilometres (193 mi) by air southwest of Entebbe International Airport, Uganda's largest civilian and military airport.[7]

As of January 2010, the airport was not under the administration of the Civil Aviation Authority of Uganda.[8]

Facilities

The airport has a single unpaved runway. Aeronautical charts show the runway length at 610 metres (2,000 ft),[2] and satellite images indicate a maximum length of 1,400 metres (4,600 ft),[3] while a newspaper article stated the land set aside for the runway was 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi).[6]
