Mpanda Airport (ICAO: HTMP) is an airport in western Tanzania serving the town of Mpanda and the surrounding Katavi Region. It is located about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the town. The UN Refugee Agency UNHCR helped the Government of Tanzania to finance the upgrade of the airstrip into an airport as a gesture of its appreciation for hosting Burundian refugees for more than 30 years.[1][2]
The airport was officially opened by the Tanzanian Vice President Mohamed Gharib Bilal on 24 November 2012.[3] The airport will help improve access to the Katavi National Park.
