Qamishli Airport[3] (Arabic: مطار القامشلي) (IATA: KAC, ICAO: OSKL) is an airport serving Qamishli, a city in northeastern Syria.
Although the airport was closed to civilians around October 2015,[3] it has been reopened again, and Syrian flight companies including Cham Wings Airlines and Syrian Air now provide regular flights into Qamishli from Damascus, Latakia and Beirut. The airport used to receive seasonal foreign flights from Germany and Sweden.[4] On 21 January 2016, Russia's activity presumably aimed at setting up a new military base in the government-controlled and mainly abandoned airport was first reported.[5][6][7]
The airport resides at an elevation of 1,480 feet (451 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 03/21 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,615 by 46 metres (11,860 ft × 151 ft).[1]
