Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport is the main airport
in Angola and was named after the beginning of the struggle
against Portuguese colonialism on 4th February 1961, Quatro
de Fevereiro. It's situated two miles outside Luanda, the
capital city of Angola. Luanda airport serves as both a civilian
and military airport and is operated by the Military of Angola. It is soon to be replaced by the new Angola International Airport, which lies approximately 30 km to the east of Luanda. Current passenger numbers are not known with the last figures
being from 2018 when the airport served some 5.6 million passengers. Numerous international airlines land at the
airport which is home to TAAG Angola Airlines.
Passengers report
that it is useful to have some spare $$$ to help 'facilitate'
the checking in and out process and advise that its prudent to
take food and water with you as the in-airport facilities are
rarely operational. The airport has been the centre of a mystery dating back
to 25th May 2003 when a Boeing 727 formerly owned by American
Airlines was stolen from the airport having been parked there
for a year. It says something for airport security that such an
airplane can be stolen and never recovered!
