๐ข Terminal Information
Dirico Airport (DRC) serves the remote municipality of Dirico in Cuando Cubango Province, southeastern Angola, positioned at 3,504-3,632 feet elevation in one of the country's most sparsely populated and isolated regions. The airport operates with a single runway 11/29 and basic infrastructure designed to support essential air services for government operations, humanitarian missions, and limited commercial flights connecting this remote border region to larger Angolan cities.
As a small regional facility with minimal passenger amenities, the airport features a simple terminal building with basic waiting areas, essential safety equipment, and customs/immigration facilities for domestic operations, though international clearance capabilities may be limited. Security conditions require advance coordination with local authorities, and fuel availability can be unpredictable due to the airport's remote location and limited supply chain infrastructure in this frontier region of Angola.
Prior permission may be required for aircraft operations, and passengers should prepare for basic ground services, limited transportation options, and minimal commercial amenities typical of remote African regional airports. The facility serves as a crucial lifeline for Dirico and surrounding communities, providing access for medical emergencies, government services, and essential supply logistics in an area where road infrastructure is challenging and seasonal weather conditions can significantly impact surface transportation accessibility.
