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
Ambriz Airport (AZZ) serves the town of Ambriz in Angola's Bengo Province, located on the country's Atlantic coast. This regional airfield primarily supports local communities, general aviation, and occasional government or private charter flights, rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. Its main role is to provide essential air access to a region where ground transportation can be challenging. The airport's infrastructure is basic, typically featuring a single unpaved (gravel) runway that is suitable for light aircraft and smaller turboprops.\n\nOperational procedures at AZZ are informal and highly dependent on visual flight rules (VFR) and local conditions. There are no advanced security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, or traditional check-in counters. Passengers for specific flights usually coordinate directly with their operators or pilots. Security, if present, is minimal, handled by local authorities. Flights are prone to delays or cancellations due to weather conditions or operational requirements. It is advisable to coordinate with local authorities for landing permission and ensure fuel is available in advance.\n\nAmenities at Ambriz Airport are non-existent for the general public. Travelers should expect no shops, restaurants, or restroom facilities. It is essential for visitors to bring all necessary provisions, including water and snacks, and to be prepared for the hot and humid climate. All arrangements for accommodation and ground transportation in Ambriz must be made in advance, as the town has limited public facilities. The airport's primary function is to provide critical air access for local needs in this part of Angola.
