Tikapur Airport is a domestic airport located in Tikapur serving Kailali District, a district in Sudurpashchim Province in Nepal.
The airport began operations on 11 October 1984.[2] It served as a hub in western Nepal, as road connections were lacking until the Nepalese Civil War,[3] when operations came to a halt in 1997.[4] The area was then occupied by Kamaiya people, who built shelter within the airports boundaries.[3] [4]
In the late 2010s, the public urged for the airport to reopen, for which minister Prem Bahadur Ale vowed to reopen the airport in 2022.[5]
The airport resides at an elevation of 797feet above mean sea level. It has one runway which is 573m (1,880feet) in length.[1]
Currently, there are no scheduled services to and from Tikapur Airport.
