Boma is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Soyo Airport (SZA), 82 km (51 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,905 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Cabinda Airport (CAB, 100 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soyo Airport (regional) | SZA | 82 km (51 mi) | 5,905 ft | 15 ft |
| Cabinda Airport (regional) | CAB | 100 km (62 mi) | 8,202 ft | 66 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,905 ft, SZA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 15 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
