Chipato Airport

Chipato Airport is a small, unpaved airstrip located near Luao, a town in the Moxico Province of eastern Angola close to the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It serves the local community and surrounding region, primarily supporting light general aviation and occasional charter operations rather than scheduled commercial service. The airport operates under the ICAO designator AO-0025 and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its status as a minor facility outside the main commercial aviation network. Infrastructure is basic, consistent with remote bush airstrips found throughout Angola's interior provinces. Moxico Province is one of Angola's largest and most sparsely populated provinces, and small airstrips like Chipato play an important logistical role in connecting isolated communities to regional centers such as Luena, the provincial capital.
