Location

Maquela do Zombo, Angola

Maquela Airport (ICAO: FNMQ) is a small airfield located in Maquela do Zombo, the capital of Zombo Municipality in Uíge Province, northwestern Angola. It serves as a basic aviation link for an otherwise isolated region near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The airport operates at a very limited capacity, primarily supporting light aircraft, charter flights, and occasional government or humanitarian operations. Scheduled commercial service is minimal or nonexistent, reflecting the sparse population and limited infrastructure of the surrounding area. Maquela do Zombo is a historically significant town in Angola, known for its role during the independence movement, but the airport remains underdeveloped with basic facilities typical of rural Angolan airstrips.
