Location
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls International Airport (IATA: VFA, ICAO: FVFA) serves the tourist town of Victoria Falls in western Zimbabwe, providing air access to the iconic Victoria Falls waterfall and surrounding wildlife areas. It is one of Zimbabwe's busiest international airports, catering predominantly to leisure travelers visiting the region. The airport underwent a major expansion and upgrade project, completed around 2016, which significantly increased its capacity and modernized its facilities. The redevelopment was partly financed by China and carried out by Chinese construction firms, extending the runway and enlarging the terminal building. Given the area's dependence on tourism, the airport's traffic is closely tied to visitor arrivals to Victoria Falls and adjacent safari destinations such as Hwange National Park. It serves as an important regional hub connecting Zimbabwe with southern African cities.
