Angola's enclave gateway serving the oil-rich Cabinda province.

Location
Cabinda, Angola
Cabinda Airport (IATA: CAB, ICAO: FNCA) is a domestic and regional airport serving the city of Cabinda, the capital of the Cabinda Province, an Angolan exclave situated north of the Congo River and separated from the rest of Angola by the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The airport plays a strategically important role in connecting Cabinda to the Angolan mainland, particularly the capital Luanda, given the province's significance as Angola's primary oil-producing region. The surrounding offshore oilfields make the airport a key facility for energy sector workers and contractors. Flight operations are primarily domestic, with TAAG Angola Airlines operating regular scheduled services linking Cabinda to Luanda and other Angolan destinations. The airport handles a modest volume of passengers reflective of the province's population and its specialised economic character.
Terminals
The airport has a single small passenger terminal suited to its domestic and limited regional traffic volumes.
Getting to & from
