Location

Kakira, Uganda

Kakira Airport is a small general aviation airstrip located in Kakira, a town in the Jinja District of eastern Uganda.

The airstrip has no scheduled commercial airline services and is used mainly for light aircraft, charter flights, and operational purposes related to the sugar industry and local businesses. It does not hold an IATA code, reflecting its status as a non-commercial facility. Due to its limited role, public information about the airport's infrastructure, history, and operations is scarce.
