Remote desert airstrip at the mouth of the Kunene River.
Location
Skeleton Coast, Namibia
Kunene Mouth Airstrip (ICAO: FYMK) is a small, remote airstrip located along the Skeleton Coast of northwestern Namibia, near the point where the Kunene River meets the Atlantic Ocean. This area marks the border between Namibia and Angola and is part of one of the most isolated and ecologically significant coastal desert regions in the world.
The airstrip primarily serves light aircraft operations supporting tourism, conservation activities, and logistics in the Skeleton Coast National Park and surrounding wilderness areas. Commercial airline services are not available here, and the facility is rudimentary in nature, catering to charter and private flights.
The surrounding region is renowned for its stark desert landscapes, abundant wildlife including desert-adapted elephants and lions, and the rich marine ecosystem along the cold Benguela Current coastline.
