Small regional airport serving Zambia's Copperbelt mining hub.

Location
Chingola, Zambia
Kasompe Airport is a small regional airport located in Chingola, a major copper-mining city in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. It serves the local mining industry and provides limited scheduled and charter air services to the surrounding region. The airport operates under the IATA code CGJ and ICAO code FLKE. Given the relatively modest size of Chingola and the proximity of larger airports such as Ndola's Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport, Kasompe sees limited commercial traffic and functions primarily as a general aviation and mining-support facility.

Traveller Tips
