Moyo Airport (OYG)

Moyo Airport (OYG) is a domestic aviation facility serving the town of Moyo in the West Nile sub-region of northern Uganda, situated near the international border with South Sudan. The airport features a basic passenger terminal building designed to facilitate regional travel and essential charter operations for government officials and NGO personnel. It acts as a critical infrastructure link for this remote part of the country, providing a faster alternative to the lengthy road journeys from the capital hub of Kampala.

The terminal infrastructure is modest and focused on essential services, providing a functional waiting area and simple check-in counters for domestic carriers like Eagle Air. While the building lacks modern commercial amenities such as retail shops, full-service restaurants, or duty-free outlets, it provides a sheltered space for passengers waiting for scheduled or charter flights. Travelers are strongly encouraged to carry their own refreshments and to handle significant financial needs in the Moyo town center prior to arrival.

Operationally, the airport features a single 4,260-foot (1,298m) unpaved gravel and dirt runway (02/20) situated at an elevation of 3,100 feet. All flights are conducted under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) during daylight hours, as the facility is not equipped with modern navigational aids or runway lighting. Ground transportation to the city center is exceptionally convenient due to the airport's proximity, with local taxis and motorcycle taxis (boda-bodas) providing a quick 5 to 10-minute link to the town's main districts and administrative offices.
