Lubumbashi International Airport (IATA: FBM, ICAO: FZQA) is the principal airport serving Lubumbashi, the second-largest city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the capital of Haut-Katanga Province. It is the second-busiest airport in the country after N'djili International Airport in Kinshasa, handling both passenger and cargo traffic driven largely by the region's significant mining industry. The airport supports a range of domestic and regional international routes, connecting Lubumbashi to destinations across sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Its cargo operations are particularly important given the DRC's role as one of the world's leading producers of copper and cobalt, with mining companies relying on air freight for equipment and personnel. The facility is managed under the Régie des Voies Aériennes (RVA), the state body overseeing DRC airports. Infrastructure limitations and ongoing development needs remain challenges, though the airport continues to serve as a critical hub for the economically vital Katanga mining region.
