About Angola International Airport (under construction)

Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport (Portuguese: Aeroporto Internacional Dr. António Agostinho Neto) (IATA: NBJ, ICAO: FNBJ), informally Novo Aeroporto Internacional de Luanda (NAIL), is an international airport serving the capital of Angola, Luanda. It is located in Bom Jesus, in the municipality of Ícolo e Bengo, Luanda Province, Angola 40 km south-east of the city center.

It is the largest airport ever constructed by any Chinese enterprise outside of China. It is intended to be Angola's main gateway to the world and an important air hub for Africa. It will gradually replace the city's existing Quatro de Fevereiro Airport, which will remain open for non-commercial air services, maintenance, and training.

The airport is designed for 15 million passengers annually and 130,000 metric tons of cargo. The five busiest airports in Africa handle 7.5 to 28 million passengers per year, of which three have direct flights from Luanda. The older Luanda airport served 5.6 million in 2018.
