Qardho Airport, also known as Gardo Airport, is an airport in Qardho town in the northeastern Bari region of Somalia.
The airport sits at an elevation of 2632feet above mean sea level. It has a runway that is 1600m (5,200feet) long.
In late September 2013, Puntland Deputy Minister of Civil Aviation Abdiqani Gelle announced that the authorities in Somalia's autonomous Puntland region would carry out major renovations at the Qardho Airport, as well as at the Garowe International Airport in Garowe and the Abdullahi Yusuf International Airport in Galkayo. A tender process for a similar upgrade initiative was concurrently launched at the Bender Qassim International Airport in Bosaso.[2]
