Dr Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport, also known as Angola International Airport, is the principal gateway serving Luanda, the capital of Angola. Built as a new facility for the city, it offers two long, hard-surfaced, lit runway pairs capable of handling large airline traffic, making it a straightforward but sizeable field for a simulator pilot to plan around.
Dr Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport serves Luanda, the capital of Angola, and is classed as a large airport handling scheduled airline services. It is also referred to as Angola International Airport, reflecting its role as a new international gateway built for the city. For a simulator pilot, the field is notable for its two very long parallel hard-surfaced runways, both lit, giving it the scale typical of a major international hub.
The airport lies in Ícolo e Bengo, within Luanda Province, Angola, at coordinates 9.0536 degrees south, 13.4969 degrees east, at an elevation of 548 feet above mean sea level.
The airfield has two parallel physical runways. One pair, 06L/24R, is approximately 12,400 to 12,405 feet long; the other, 06R/24L, is approximately 13,055 to 13,061 feet long. Both runways have a hard surface and are lit. Neither runway is equipped with an ILS.
No published communications frequencies are currently recorded for this airport. Pilots planning a flight here should confirm current radio frequencies and any available navigation aids before departure, as none are listed in available aeronautical data.
The airport was developed as a new international airport for Luanda, at times referred to during planning and construction as the New Luanda International Airport, before entering service as Dr Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport, named in honour of Angola's first president.
The airport operates as a large airport with scheduled airline service, equipped with two long parallel runways suited to a wide range of aircraft types up to large widebody jets.
