Angola's new gateway replacing the aging Quatro de Fevereiro Airport.

Location
Luanda, Angola
Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport, coded NBJ/FNBJ, is a major new international airport under development near Luanda in the Ícolo e Bengo municipality of Angola. Named after Angola's first president, the airport is intended to replace the heavily congested Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport (LAD), which has long exceeded its operational capacity. The project has been in planning and construction phases for a number of years, with the Angolan government committing significant investment to create a modern facility capable of handling tens of millions of passengers annually. The airport is being built to serve as a regional hub for Southern and Central Africa. As of the most recent available information, the airport had not yet fully entered commercial operations, meaning many specific operational details such as confirmed airline routes and terminal configurations remain subject to change as the opening date approaches.
Getting to & from
The airport is located in Ícolo e Bengo, some distance from central Luanda, and road transport links are planned to connect it to the capital city.
