A super new airport that officially opened in Nov 2023(started international flights in October 2025). The old airport's flights will gradually transfer to this airport.

The airport website provided here is not the official one. However, it is way better than the true official website, which is at www.airports.co.za/airports/or-tambo-international-airport .
Another notable unofficial website is www.ortambointernationalairport.co.za/.

Not too easy to reach ;-)
Flew Juba to Agok and return 11/2025 with 7Q-SKA
re: Don't see an airport here
Reply to @david: Update, apparently a Caterpillar worked digging up the runway for about a week in the early 90s, so that fixed-wing aircraft other than helicopters could land. After that, the airfield fell into disuse, and weeds grew unchecked. A local states that the Malawi government at the time transported weapons and food items via the airport at night. This airfield probably got caught up in the Mozambican Civil War which went on from 1976 until 1992.
re: Don't see an airport here
Reply to @david: Historical satellite imagery available on Google earth actually reveal that there use be two runways here, one around 1000m in length facing SE/NW and one also 1000m facing NE/SW. Based on the colorization, they appeared to either have a graveled or dirt surface. Whatever airport use to exist here seems to have disappeared from urban encroachment by 2006.
Air Malawi mid-70s
My father flew BAC 1-11 for Air Malawi for a couple of years in the mid-70s and I remember the Chileka Club well, and was just trying to find the Air Malawi house where we lived not far away. I went to St Andrews for a year then we sadly had to go back to the UK! My brother Richard headed back when he was 19 and has lived ever since in Livingstone and Lusaka, Zambia. He founded and owns Fawlty Towers Lodge in Livingstone.
re: Wrong country
Reply to @Abde: There has been movement β the UN Security Council endorsed Morocco's autonomy proposal as the best starting point for moving forward with negotiations β but that's just a milestone towards some kind of future resolution, not a resolution in itself.

Wrong position #2
The airfield depicted here is actually Mimia Airport, serving Mimia mission (source: MAF West Congo Airport List).
Information about FZBR Bolongonkele is extremely limited, but it was likely a short-lived highway strip located here: -2.753684Β°, 19.904530Β°
Standerton Airport FASR - No Longer
Standerton Airport FASR - No Longer exists. On google maps you can see the shadow of what once an airport but is no more
Small but reliable!
We flew into this airport in 2023 on one regional airline. While visiting the government withdrew the license for the airline requiring us to purchase tickets from another airline at double the price of the previous airline without the refund of the previously purchased tickets.
chileka airport club
I don't suppose anyone went to the club in the 70s that remembers my mum Sandra Milne? She ran the club and I believe did cooking at one point. If anyone from then wants to see photos I've found a few from 77 ish era

R326 Private Airport
A sight!
Flight from KMU to NBO was stopped here for a security check per protocol. A result of overzealous Kenyan administration.

Really long runway. Saw a UN helicopter get held up by a goat. Love the city.

Reply to @samisaber: OurAirports does not assign airports to the country of occupation forces. If the political situation changes, we will update the country assignment.
Rude woman at passport control swore at me! 16 Feb 2025
Upon handing over my passport for checking, I put away my mobile phone in my bag when she said in a sarcastic manner 'Let me know when you're ready'. At first I didn't hear/understand her so I said 'Excuse me?' to which she repeated in an angrier tone. She gave me dirty looks while flicking through my passport pages before throwing it back towards me. Of course, I was angry by that point so I went to grab my passport and boarding pass in a hurried manner to get away from her but she snatched my passport back and didn't give it to me for a minute, expecting me to apologise. She said I was being rude grabbing my passport in a hurry and expected me to apologise which I didn't! She eventually returned my items but hissed 'so f*cking rude' which perfectly described her disgusting manners. She was at the end of one of the passport control counters - a black woman with short cropped hair with black frame glasses. Sunday 16th Feb 2025
No Man's Land
Agok is actually in the disputed Abyei area, which is de jure a condominium (jointly ruled) between Sudan and South Sudan. While we have to select *a* country to enter this airport into the database (which doesn't allow us to select multiple jurisdictions), please note this does not reflect an opinion on the sovereignty over this area.

Flew into Koumra in a Shorts SC7, Reg LX-UGO on Oct 2 1990. Just a quick stop just to check out the airport before continuing to Moundou, FTTD for some cold GALA. This was in conjonction with the locust control. I remember very well following the dirt road branching off the main road and leading to the threshold of 04.
History
Built in 1917 for military purpose and was used during World War IIβs North African Campaign.
Conflict Zone
Caution advised when operating in and out of this airport.

β @I_Am_So_Handsome at Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport, Angola
Reply to @I_Am_So_Handsome:
Additionally, there's another airport in Pointe Noire, DRC, called Antonio-Agostinho-Neto International Airport, named after the same person. Don't mix them up.
