Western Zambia's gateway serving the Barotse floodplain region.

Location

Mongu, Zambia

Mongu Airport (IATA: MNR, ICAO: FLMG) is a domestic airport serving Mongu, the capital of Western Province in Zambia. It provides vital air connectivity to a region that can be difficult to access by road, particularly during the annual Zambezi River flood season when large areas of the Barotse floodplain become inundated. The airport handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, primarily linking Mongu with Lusaka and other Zambian destinations. It plays an important logistical role for government, NGO, and humanitarian operations in the remote western province. Infrastructure at the airport is modest, reflecting the relatively low passenger volumes of the region. It supports light aircraft, turboprops, and small regional jets serving the local population and visitors drawn to the area's cultural heritage, including the famous Kuomboka ceremony.

Terminals

The airport has a basic single terminal building with limited facilities typical of a small domestic regional airport.

Getting to & from
