Located near coordinates -6.121, 24.546, it primarily supports charter, cargo, and occasional regional passenger flights rather than large scheduled international service.

💡 Local Tip
Ask your pilot or ground handler about current runway conditions before departure—rain can affect small airstrips in Lomami, and schedules often shift with weather and daylight.
🚖 Getting There
Arrange pickup in advance through your hotel, NGO, or local contact, as taxis and ride-hailing are not dependable at the airport. The drive into Kabinda is short but can be slow on unpaved or degraded roads, especially after rain. If you are chartering, confirm transfer and baggage handling directly with the operator.
