💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the airport is very quiet, so bring essentials like water, cash in Congolese francs or US dollars, and a charged phone; also reconfirm your flight directly with the operator before leaving for the airport, since schedules can shift at short notice.
🚖 Getting There
Ground transport is typically by taxi, private car, or motorbike-taxi arranged in Boma, as there is no dependable public airport shuttle. Confirm your pickup in advance, especially for early or late flights, and allow extra time for road conditions. If you are connecting by road from Matadi or Kinshasa, arrange onward transport before you arrive.
