Man Maya Airport (IATA: KDN, ICAO: VNKD), or Khanidanda Airport is an airstrip located near Diktel, the headquarters of Khotang District in Nepal.

The airport originally had a 590 metre long dirt runway which marred operations during the rainy season. The runway blacktopped in July 2015 at a cost of Rs 70 million, allowing for year-round operations.[1] Simrik Airlines and Tara Air (Kathmandu) have announced plans to resume services to the airport.[2]
