## Description

Luena, capital of the eastern province of Moxico, sits on the spine of the Benguela Railway (CFB) as it runs toward the border town of Luau and on into the DRC — part of the corridor that links the Atlantic to Central Africa's copper belts. Its airport (LUO) handles mainly domestic routes and adds little on the cargo side: there is no dedicated freight terminal, and goods travel as belly cargo. International airfreight is consolidated through NBJ near Luanda. The real freight infrastructure here is the railway, not the runway. For forwarders, Luena is best understood as a node on the Lobito–Luau–DRC rail axis. The air link stays reserved for passengers and time-critical items.
