  "connection_tips": "Connecting at Kananga Airport (KGA) is becoming an increasingly efficient experience thanks to the 2026 terminal modernization project. For most travelers, a 'connection' here involves transitioning from a domestic flight from Kinshasa (FIH) or Lubumbashi (FBM) to local ground transport or a smaller regional charter. Since arrivals and departures are housed in a single integrated building, moving from your arrival gate to the transport hub outside can be completed in under 15 minutes. However, it is advisable to allow at least 90 minutes for any onward connection to account for manual baggage retrieval and potential security re-checks.\n\nGround transportation is the most critical link for any traveler transiting through the Kasa\u00ef interior. While local taxis are available, it is highly recommended to pre-arrange a private vehicle or hotel shuttle if you are heading to the city center with significant luggage. If you are arriving for a humanitarian or government mission, most organizations coordinate their own transport from the designated arrivals exit. Always have your digital boarding passes and travel permits ready, as security personnel at regional Congolese airports are thorough and may request identification multiple times before you exit the terminal grounds.\n\nPractical preparation for a KGA connection includes ensuring you have sufficient Congolese Francs (CDF) or small denomination US Dollars (USD) in cash. While there are plans for improved banking services in the new terminal, ATMs may not always be compatible with all international cards, so having local currency on hand for taxi fares and small purchases is a wise precaution. The terminal's waiting areas provide a much-improved environment compared to the old facility, with basic refreshments available during flight hours.",

  "terminal_info": "Kananga Airport (KGA) is currently undergoing a massive modernization project, positioning it as a premier aviation hub for the Kasa\u00ef-Central province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Scheduled for full completion in mid-2026, the facility features a brand-new, two-level passenger terminal building constructed with modern steel-frame architecture. This significant upgrade is designed to replace the aging infrastructure and increase the airport's annual capacity to approximately one million passengers, reflecting its role as a critical transport link for the country's interior.\n\nThe terminal's layout is organized into two primary levels to optimize passenger flow and security. The ground level serves as the main arrivals and processing hub, housing 14 modernized check-in counters and a streamlined security screening zone. The upper level is dedicated to departure lounges and features improved passenger comfort zones. To ensure continuous operation in a region with limited power infrastructure, the new terminal is supported by dedicated 500 KVA generators and a modernized utility block. The airport features a 2,200-meter asphalt runway (11/29) that has recently been expanded and reinforced to accommodate larger domestic jets like the Boeing 737.\n\nAmenities within the new Kananga terminal are being brought up to international standards, providing essential services for both business and leisure travelers. Passengers will have access to clean sanitation facilities, well-appointed waiting lounges, and specialized zones for Customs and Quarantine, preparing the facility for future cross-border operations. While large-scale retail is currently in development, the terminal includes a semi-basement level dedicated to small commercial kiosks and service outlets. The facility is fully accessible, featuring integrated stairs and elevators designed to assist passengers with reduced mobility.\n\nGround transportation at KGA is well-coordinated with the city's urban area, located approximately 5 kilometers from the central district. Travelers can easily access the town via local taxis or pre-arranged private hires stationed near the new terminal exit. There are no formal public bus systems serving the airfield, so coordinating transport through local contacts or hotels is highly recommended. The airport operates primarily during daylight hours (sunrise to sunset), and travelers are generally advised to arrive at least two hours before their domestic flight to account for the new security protocols and the small-scale baggage processing typical of this regional hub.",
