Historic urban airfield serving Kinshasa's inner city.

Opened
1920s
Location
Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Ndolo Airport (IATA: NLO, ICAO: FZAB) is a small domestic airport located in the N'dolo district of Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It sits along the Congo River and operates primarily as a general aviation and domestic feeder airport, complementing the larger N'Djili International Airport (FIH) which handles the bulk of international traffic. The airport has a single runway and limited infrastructure, serving light aircraft, charter operations, and some scheduled regional services. Its central location within the city makes it accessible for shorter-haul and light aviation needs, though its urban setting constrains expansion possibilities. Ndolo has historical significance dating to the colonial era, when it served as one of the primary aviation facilities in what was then the Belgian Congo. Today it remains a functional but modest facility in a densely populated urban environment.
Getting to & from
The airport is accessible by road within central Kinshasa, with taxis and informal transport available, though no dedicated public transit link exists.
