Al Khor Airport( ICAO : OTBK) is located South of Al Khor in Qatar. The airport is mostly used by general aviation aircraft and has served as the venue of the annual Al Khor Fly-In since 2008. The fly-in lasts for two days and allows visitors to travel in and view aircraft. Aircraft from other GCC countries are showcased at the event. [2] There are two aprons available with a PCN of 45. The northern apron is able to accommodate six aircraft like Cessna 172s and the southern apron is able to accommodate two similar aircraft. [3]

The airport was removed from the Qatar AIP in the AIRAC amendment 08/19 effective on August 15, 2019. [4] As of September 2021, it seems that the airport is closed.
