Remote airstrip serving the eastern Congo interior.

Location
Lulingu Tshionka, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Lulingu Tshionka Airport is a small, remote airstrip located in the South Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It serves the community of Lulingu Tshionka and surrounding areas in a region with very limited surface transportation infrastructure. The airport operates under ICAO designator FZOG and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its status as a minor domestic facility. Like many rural airstrips in the DRC, it primarily supports humanitarian, missionary, and light charter operations rather than scheduled commercial service. Accessibility in this part of eastern Congo is extremely challenging due to dense forest terrain and poorly maintained road networks, making the airstrip an essential link for the local population and aid organizations operating in the area.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited, with rough unpaved roads being the primary means of access to the surrounding community.
