Location

Kenieba, Mali

Kenieba Airport (IATA: KNZ, ICAO: GAKA) is a small domestic airfield located in Kenieba, a town in the Kayes Region of western Mali near the borders with Senegal and Guinea. The airport primarily supports access to a remote area that is difficult to reach by road, serving government, mining, and occasional charter operations. The surrounding region is known for artisanal and industrial gold mining activity, which drives much of the limited air traffic to and from the airfield. Scheduled commercial service is minimal or non-existent at most periods, with the facility functioning largely as a general aviation and utility airstrip.
