Airports at each end
Leaving Moroni
Moroni is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (HAH), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,514 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Kinshasa
Kinshasa is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Maya-Maya International Airport (BZV), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 10,827-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Ndjili International Airport (FIH, 16 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maya-Maya International Airport | BZV | 11 km (7 mi) | 10,827 ft | 1,048 ft |
| Ndjili International Airport | FIH | 16 km (10 mi) | 13,123 ft | 1,027 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 3,181 km (1,977 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
