Small regional airstrip serving the Iringa highlands of Tanzania.

Location

Mafinga, Tanzania

Mafinga Airport (ICAO: HTSH) is a small general aviation airstrip located in Mafinga, a town in the Iringa Region of Tanzania. It serves as a local access point for the surrounding highland area, which is known for timber production and agriculture. The airstrip primarily supports light aircraft operations and occasional charter flights, providing connectivity to a region that is otherwise reliant on road transport. Scheduled commercial airline service is limited or absent, making it a facility of modest traffic volume. Mafinga itself sits at relatively high elevation in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania, and the airport's infrastructure reflects its role as a small rural airstrip rather than a major commercial hub.
