Flights to Luanda
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Luanda is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport (LAD), 2 km (1 mi) from the centre, whose 12,190-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport (NBJ, 38 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport | LAD | 2 km (1 mi) | 12,190 ft | 243 ft |
| Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport | NBJ | 38 km (24 mi) | 13,123 ft | 550 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,190 ft, LAD can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 243 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
