## Description

Butare Airport (BTQ/HRYI) lies near Huye in southern Rwanda and is a small regional field without regular scheduled service. It has no cargo terminal, no freighter handling and no customs post, and is used for general aviation, government and occasional charter flights. All of Rwanda's air freight clears at Kigali (KGL), roughly two hours' drive north, from where consignments are trucked south.
