KFZ is the airport code for Kukes International Airport, sometimes styled with the name Zayed, serving the town of Kukes in the mountainous northeast of Albania, near the borders with Kosovo. It is a modern airport that reopened for commercial flights in the 2020s, giving low-cost access to a scenic and previously hard-to-reach corner of the country. Kukes sits by the large reservoir of Lake Fierza, ringed by mountains, and serves above all as a gateway to the Albanian Alps, also called the Accursed Mountains. From here travelers reach spectacular valleys such as Valbona and Theth, popular for hiking, and the famous Koman Lake ferry that winds through a dramatic gorge. Kukes is reached by its airport and by mountain roads from Tirana and Kosovo. The climate is continental, with warm summers, the main hiking season, and cold, snowy winters.
