Remote airstrip serving eastern DRC's Lugushwa region.

Location
Lugushwa, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Lugushwa Airport is a small, remote airstrip located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, identified by the ICAO code FZPC. It serves the local community of Lugushwa and surrounding areas in eastern DRC, a region characterized by difficult terrain and limited road infrastructure. Due to the remoteness of the area, the airport plays an important role in providing access to humanitarian aid, mission aviation, and basic transport services. Like many small airstrips in the DRC, it likely serves light aircraft operated by NGOs, missionary organizations, and small charter operators rather than scheduled commercial airlines. Detailed operational data, including opening date, terminal facilities, and official web presence, are not publicly documented, reflecting the limited infrastructure typical of rural DRC airstrips.
