Gateway to Ituri Province in eastern Congo.

Location

Bunia, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Bunia Airport (IATA: BUX, ICAO: FZKA) is a domestic airport serving Bunia, the capital of Ituri Province in the northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It provides a critical air link for a region that has limited road infrastructure and has experienced prolonged periods of conflict and humanitarian crisis. The airport has historically served as an important hub for United Nations peacekeeping operations, humanitarian organizations, and NGOs operating in the Ituri region. Missions including MONUC and its successor MONUSCO have utilized the facility extensively for logistics and personnel transport.

The airport handles a modest volume of traffic relative to major Congolese hubs.
