## Description

A 3,000-metre runway and a renovated apron, but almost no aircraft: Goma International (GOM/FZNA), the main airport of eastern DR Congo, has been closed to scheduled and commercial cargo traffic since the M23 movement took the city in late January 2025. The first aircraft in more than a year landed on 12 February 2026, carrying MONUSCO's deputy head for ceasefire-monitoring preparations; since then only occasional humanitarian and MONUSCO flights have used the field. A full reopening is still being negotiated — France pushed for it in October 2025, M23 called the move ill-timed, and by May 2026 the group signalled willingness to talk subject to security and technical readiness. Before the shutdown, Goma was the principal base of the UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) for North and South Kivu, and freight was dominated by relief goods, medicines and traffic tied to the region's coltan, tin and tungsten. Kavumu near Bukavu (BKY) is likewise closed, so shipments for eastern DR Congo currently route through Kigali (KGL) in Rwanda — about 155 road kilometres east, crossing at the Grande Barrière post — or through Entebbe (EBB) in Uganda, with Kinshasa N'djili (FIH) covering domestic legs. The airport sits between the Nyiragongo volcano and Lake Kivu, and lake shipping towards Bukavu remains a partial substitute for the unusable roads. Transit times, insurability and customs procedures should be confirmed case by case, because the situation changes quickly.
