## Description

Bandundu Airport (FDU/FZBO) is best understood as a runway with an airport attached rather than a freight facility: the Kwilu provincial capital's field has no confirmed cargo infrastructure and no reliably scheduled service. Rehabilitation work started on 13 March 2026 ahead of the 13th DRC governors' conference held there from 24 to 28 March, clearing stone and sand from the strip and laying a compacted double layer of 15/25 and 2/8 aggregate. The Régie des Voies Aériennes (RVA) has been modernising terminal areas, offices and waiting facilities over recent months. Documented air service is limited — Kin Avia has operated to Kinshasa–N'Dolo — and no freighter or international cargo operation is confirmed. Freight moves on water instead: Bandundu sits at the confluence of the Kwilu and Kasai rivers, and its river port, also under rehabilitation, links the city to Kinshasa by barge. Air cargo for the region therefore enters through Kinshasa–N'Djili (FIH), with Kinshasa–N'Dolo (NLO) for domestic connections; customs clearance at Bandundu is not confirmed and is handled in Kinshasa, which drives overall transit time.
