  "connection_tips": "Nioki Airport (NIO) should be approached as a provincial DRC airstrip where the main issue is onward local coordination, not terminal process. If you are flying here, the real connection is into Nioki town, the riverfront, or a mission, administrative, or business contact in Mai-Ndombe, and that means a motorcycle, local vehicle, or arranged pickup should already be lined up before arrival. This is not a field where a traveler should expect robust public transport or a reliable airport taxi system waiting outside.\n\nThe airport's value is that it gets you into a difficult-to-reach river district quickly; the ground side still depends on local relationships. Because service patterns and operating conditions can be thin, the safest plan is to keep everything simple and confirmed. Bring cash, keep local phone numbers accessible, and do not count on the airport to provide services beyond the runway and a basic handoff.\n\nIf your destination is deeper into the region by river or road, treat the flight as only the first segment and make sure the onward boat or vehicle is already part of the same plan. At NIO, a smooth connection is not about airport amenities; it is about landing into a logistics chain that someone in Nioki has already prepared for you.",
