The closest large one is Juanda International Airport (SUB), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

Arriving in Sambizanga
Sambizanga is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport (LAD), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 12,190-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport | LAD | 9 km (6 mi) | 12,190 ft | 243 ft |
| Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport | NBJ | 38 km (24 mi) | 13,123 ft | 550 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 10,916 km (6,783 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
