## Description

The contrast is stark: while the Port of Lobito some 30 km up the coast anchors the Lobito Corridor — the rail and logistics axis linking the Atlantic to the copper belts of the DR Congo and Zambia, backed by the G7's PGI initiative and the EU's Global Gateway — Benguela Airport (IATA: BUG, ICAO: FNBG) handles only SonAir services to Luanda. Its single runway, 14/32, measures roughly 1,620 m, and no dedicated cargo terminal is on record. Air freight here amounts to whatever fits in the hold of a domestic flight. For imports and exports, Luanda Quatro de Fevereiro (LAD), about 420 km north, is Angola's working customs and cargo gateway. Volume shipments into Benguela province sensibly move as sea freight through Lobito, with rail or road carriage onward into the interior.
