## Description

About 3,500 metres of asphalt runway make Bangoka International Airport (IATA: FKI, ICAO: FZIC) the air lifeline of Kisangani, a city of more than a million people that road transport barely reaches. Sitting roughly 7 km from the centre in north-eastern DR Congo, the airport moves most of its air freight as belly cargo on passenger services rather than through scheduled freighter operations. Ethiopian Airlines links Kisangani to Addis Ababa, while Congolese carriers connect it with Kinshasa and Goma. Ad-hoc charters for mining, humanitarian and UN logistics account for most of the heavier cargo passing through the field. Customs clearance is handled locally under Congolese regulations, so shippers should agree documentation and lead times with a ground handler well in advance. For oversized or low-value volume freight, barge traffic on the Congo River towards Kinshasa remains the slower conventional alternative. Kinshasa N'Djili (FIH), Goma (GOM) and Entebbe (EBB) in Uganda are the realistic diversion and gateway options.
