Maya-Maya International Airport guide

Maya-Maya International Airport (ICAO: FCBB) is the main gateway to the Republic of the Congo's capital. It sits about 4 km northwest of central Brazzaville, so the drive into town is short. The airport is shared by civil and military users, and the national air accident investigation bureau, BEA Congo, has its head office on the grounds.

A new runway and terminal opened in 2010. A second phase followed in 2013, built by Weihai International Economic & Technical Cooperative at a reported cost of $160 million. The terminal has three air bridges. The older runway was repaired and now works as a taxiway. The concession to run the airport was granted to Aéroports du Congo (AERCO) in 2011.

Before the pandemic the airport handled an estimated 1.1 million passengers a year, against a terminal capacity of up to 2 million. Air France, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, Royal Air Maroc, RwandAir, TAAG Angola Airlines and ASKY Airlines connect Brazzaville to Europe, North Africa and other African capitals. Cargo operators include Cargolux, Etihad Cargo and Air France Cargo.
