Kigoma Airport

Kigoma Airport (IATA: TKQ), established in the mid-20th century (around the 1950s), is a compact regional airport with a single terminal serving western Tanzania and the Lake Tanganyika lakeshore. As the main air gateway to Kigoma town and attractions like Gombe Stream National Park, it handles mainly domestic flights and light aircraft—making it a small but important regional hub rather than an international gateway. The airport is a short drive from Kigoma’s ferry terminals and town center, with taxis and local minibuses providing regular connections. Generally budget-friendly for domestic travelers, Kigoma sees scheduled services from Air Tanzania and regional carriers such as Precision Air and Auric Air.
