Remote gateway serving Uganda's West Nile region.

Location
Moyo, Uganda
Moyo Airport (IATA: OYG, ICAO: HUMY) is a small domestic airport located in Moyo, a town in the West Nile subregion of northwestern Uganda. The airport serves as an air access point to this remote area near the border with South Sudan. The facility primarily handles light aircraft and occasional humanitarian or government flights, given the limited road infrastructure connecting Moyo to the rest of Uganda. It plays an important logistical role for NGOs and aid organizations operating in the region, particularly given the area's proximity to refugee settlements. Commercial scheduled services are minimal or nonexistent at most times, and the airport operates at a very basic level of infrastructure typical of remote Ugandan domestic aerodromes.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Moyo town center is limited to private vehicles and motorcycle taxis (boda-bodas), as formal taxi or bus services from the airport are not established.
Airlines here
No major commercial airlines are known to operate scheduled services at Moyo Airport; flights are predominantly chartered or humanitarian in nature.
