Flights to Kafue
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kafue is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), 57 km (35 mi) from the centre, whose 12,998-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kenneth Kaunda International Airport | LUN | 57 km (35 mi) | 12,998 ft | 3,779 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,998 ft, LUN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 3,779 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
