Bro Morrocans always think that where they occupy by force is their own. You're too naive, Western Sahara does not belong to Morroco just like Crimea does not belong to Russia.

It's the second largest airport after the one in Mogadishu, but it was marked as a small airport. How ridiculous.

Serving the new capital of Equatorial Guinea.

Renovated in 2024. There wasn't a terminal before the renovation; instead, it was two thatched cottages serving as the VIP passenger terminal, and the runway was gravel instead of paved asphalt. For more images, see Google Maps here: www.maps.app.goo.gl/PvGBto6pL2BN9H9a9 . A Chinese Vlogger recorded a video before the renovation, recording the details of the airport: www.youtube.com/watch?v=28ujFzs65O4 οΌAlthough he was speaking Mandarin, you can see the video about what it looked like).

This is one of the very few airports in Sudan that are well-paved and lit. It is incredible.

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.

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/.

Sorry to hear that. Did you find it after 15 years?
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

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

β @norkeys at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Kenya
Funnily enough the last time someone commented was the first time I flew out of this airport. It was closed due to a fire that happened. I was 8 years old, we boarded the aircraft from the ground via airstair. KLM566 August 16th, 2013 B744
