Pokhara Airport (Nepali: पोखरा विमानस्थल, IATA: VNPK) is a domestic airport serving Pokhara in Nepal. Pokhara Airport will be gradually replaced by Nepal's third international airport, Pokhara International Airport, in 2023.[4] While most operations were transferred to the new airport on 1 January 2023, the STOL (short takeoff and landing) operations to Jomsom are still operated from this airport.[5]
