Gateway to northeastern Afghanistan's Kunduz province.
Location
Kunduz, Afghanistan
Kunduz Airport (IATA: UND, ICAO: OAUZ) is a small domestic airport serving the city of Kunduz in northeastern Afghanistan. It sits at an elevation of approximately 1,457 feet (444 meters) above sea level and has historically served as a key air link for a region otherwise dependent on road transport through challenging terrain.
The airport gained international attention during the Afghan conflict, as control of Kunduz city changed hands multiple times between Afghan government forces and the Taliban. Air access to the region was frequently disrupted during periods of conflict. Following the Taliban's return to power in August 2021, scheduled civilian operations became severely limited or suspended.
Prior to 2021, Afghan domestic carriers operated limited scheduled services connecting Kunduz to Kabul. The airport's future operational status under Taliban administration remains uncertain, with little verified information available about current scheduled service levels.
Terminals
The airport has a single modest terminal building with basic passenger handling facilities suited to low-volume domestic traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and central Kunduz city relies primarily on private taxis and informal shared vehicles, with no formal public transit service.
Airlines here
Afghan domestic carriers, most notably Kam Air and Ariana Afghan Airlines, historically operated routes between Kunduz and Kabul prior to 2021.
