Location

Mbuji Mayi, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Mbuji Mayi Airport (IATA: MJM, ICAO: FZWA) serves Mbuji Mayi, the capital of Kasai-Oriental province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The city is one of the world's leading diamond-mining centers, and the airport plays a vital role in connecting this economically significant region to Kinshasa and other Congolese cities.
