Tikapur Airport (IATA: TPU, ICAO: VNTP) is a domestic airport located in Tikapur[1] serving Kailali District, a district in Sudurpashchim Province in Nepal.
[3] It served as a hub in western Nepal, as road connections were lacking until the Nepalese Civil War,[4] when operations came to a halt in 1997.
[5] The area was then occupied by Kamaiya people, who built shelter within the airports boundaries.
[6] The airport resides at an elevation of 797 feet (243 m) above mean sea level.
[1][2] Currently, Tikapur Airport operates three flights a week (Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday) for Kathmandu via Nepalganj as a short transit.
