Dundo Airport (FNDU), also known as Camaquenzo I Airport, serves the city of Dundo, capital of Lunda Norte Province in Angola, positioned in the heart of one of Africa's most historically significant diamond mining regions where diamonds were first discovered in the Musalala River in 1912. Located in the former mining community that grew from a 1912 settlement following diamond discovery, the airport provides essential connectivity to this northeastern border city of 177,604 residents (2014 census) where mining operations historically produced close to 10% of the world's gem-quality diamond supply through 1980.
TAAG Angola Airlines resumed commercial service with Boeing 737-700 aircraft on August 10, 2017, following the airport's reopening after significant expansion and modernization works completed in 2012, establishing essential air links between this remote provincial capital and Luanda plus other Angolan cities. The facility serves the region's continuing diamond mining operations, government administration, and economic development initiatives, providing crucial transportation infrastructure for mining industry personnel, government officials, and residents of this strategically important border region.
Operational services include TAAG's scheduled flights plus charter operations supporting the diamond mining sector, regional development projects, and essential connections for this isolated provincial capital located near the Democratic Republic of Congo border. The airport enables access to the broader Chitato Municipality's mining concessions and serves as a lifeline for economic activities, emergency services, and administrative functions in this resource-rich region where aviation remains the most reliable form of long-distance transportation given challenging overland routes through Angola's interior diamond country.

๐ข Terminal Information
N'zeto Airport (ARZ) is a regional airfield serving the coastal town of N'zeto in Angola's Zaire Province. Situated in a remote area, the airport plays a crucial role in connecting the local community and supporting operations for the nearby oil and gas industry. It does not host scheduled commercial passenger services; instead, it caters to private charters, government flights, and essential logistical movements. The airport's infrastructure is basic, featuring a single runway (which may be paved or gravel, depending on maintenance) and a small, functional building that serves as an administrative office and a simple waiting area.\n\nOperational procedures at ARZ are informal and highly dependent on the type of flight. There are no extensive security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, or official check-in counters as found in larger commercial airports. Passengers typically coordinate their arrivals and departures directly with their flight operators or local contacts. Access to the tarmac is usually direct, and travelers should be prepared for varying ground conditions. Power cuts are a common occurrence, which can affect limited airport services.\n\nAmenities at N'zeto Airport are extremely limited. Travelers will find basic shelter and perhaps a restroom, but there are no shops, restaurants, or currency exchange facilities. It is essential for visitors to bring all necessary provisions, including water and snacks. Ground transportation options from the airport are typically arranged in advance with local contacts or through the companies operating in the region. The remote nature of N'zeto means that advanced planning for all aspects of travel and stay is highly recommended.
