Pakse International Airport (IATA: PKZ, ICAO: VLPS) is about 6 km southeast from Pakse center – Champasak province.
Pakse International Airport receives regular flights from Laos Airlines and Lao Skyway. You can fly to Pakse from Luang Prabang, Vientiane, and Savannakhet, as well as Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap. The airport is also a major transportation hub for southern quarters of the country.
The airport has been in use since 1959 and re-opened after renovations in 2001. A new control tower next to the terminal replaced a short one to provide ATC at the airport. The terminal is designed to mimic the Lan Xang-style architecture used for Buddhist temples in Laos.
Pakse International Airport is where you can obtain a visa on arrival in Laos. You’ll need to provide a passport (with at least 6 months of remaining validity), submit your visa application form, and 2 passport photos.
