Small airstrip serving the remote Kasenga region of Congo.

Location
Kasenga, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Kasenga Airport is a small regional airfield located in Kasenga, a town in the Haut-Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It serves as a basic air access point for a remote area near the border with Zambia, facilitating light aircraft and occasional charter operations. The airport holds the IATA code KEC and ICAO designator FZQG, and operates with limited infrastructure typical of rural Congolese airstrips. It primarily supports humanitarian, missionary, and light commercial flights rather than scheduled airline services. Given the lack of road connectivity in the region, the airstrip plays a meaningful role in linking Kasenga to larger urban centers such as Lubumbashi, the main city of Katanga Province.
