Kariba Airport (IATA: KAB, ICAO: FVKB) is an international airport serving Kariba, Mashonaland West Province, Zimbabwe. It is 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the town, and 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) east of the Kariba Dam, the outlet of Lake Kariba.[1][5] The Kariba non-directional beacon (Ident: KB) is 3.6 nautical miles (6.7 km) west of the runway.[6]

There have been calls from local politicians and tourism businesses for the modest airport to be refurbished.[7]

Fastjet Zimbabwe announced that they would be introducing scheduled services to Kariba Airport from both Harare and Victoria Falls, commencing in late March 2023.[8]
