Bukavu Kavumu Airport (IATA: BKY, ICAO: FZMA) is located near Kavumu, approximately 40 kilometres north of Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu Province in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It serves as the main commercial airport for the region, handling both domestic and limited international flights. The airport operates in a challenging security and logistical environment typical of eastern DRC, where humanitarian and UN operations have historically played a significant role alongside commercial aviation. The surrounding region has experienced prolonged instability, which has influenced flight operations and infrastructure development. Despite its modest size and facilities, Kavumu Airport is a critical transport link for South Kivu, connecting the region to Kinshasa and other Congolese cities, as well as facilitating humanitarian aid operations conducted by NGOs and international organizations active in the area.
