Location
Kuito, Angola
Kuito Airport (IATA: SVP, ICAO: FNKU) is a domestic airport located in Kuito, the capital of Bié Province in central Angola. It provides essential air connectivity for a region that is relatively remote and where road infrastructure remains limited following decades of civil conflict. The airport primarily serves domestic routes within Angola, linking Kuito to the capital Luanda and other provincial centers. It plays an important logistical role for government, NGO, and commercial activities in the Bié highlands. The facility is modest in size and capacity, reflecting the regional nature of its traffic. Infrastructure improvements have been ongoing as Angola continues to invest in provincial airports across the country.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building designed to handle domestic passenger traffic at a regional scale.
Getting to & from
