Malanje Airport guide

Malanje Airport (ICAO FNMA) serves Malanje, the capital of Malanje Province in north-central Angola. The airport sits on the Malanje plateau at an elevation of about 1,179 metres (3,868 feet) above sea level, which is high for an Angolan airport.

It has a single asphalt runway, designated 13/31, about 2,220 metres long. That length is enough for regional turboprops and mid-sized jets. The Malange non-directional beacon (identifier MA) lies about 5 kilometres east of the airport and supports instrument approaches. Wikipedia lists the airport as a public facility run by the government. ENANA E.P., the state company that manages Angola's airports and civil air traffic, is the national operator.

Public information on the airport is thin. No passenger or aircraft movement statistics are published, and no scheduled airline timetable could be confirmed from the sources reviewed. Travellers should check with the carrier, such as TAAG Angola Airlines, or with ENANA before planning a trip. The coordinates are 9.53 degrees south, 16.31 degrees east. Malanje is also reachable by road from Luanda, which is the main alternative for most visitors.
