Bannu Airport (IATA: BNP, ICAO: OPBN) is a domestic airport located 6 nm (11 km) west of the city center of Bannu, in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.[3]

It was constructed to provide services to Bannu's population and neighbouring communities. It is not as large as other public sector airports of Pakistan.

The airport is not currently in operation except for emergency diversions. According to employees, no flights have taken here since about 2001.[4]
