About Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport

Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International Airport lies in the tropics at 9.05° S, 13.50° E, on Africa/Luanda time (UTC+1). Tropical airports contend with heat and humidity, both of which thin the air and lengthen takeoff runs, and with convective storms that build fast in the afternoon.

The longest, 06R/24L, measures 13,123 ft by 197 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. Surfaces vary across the field (asphalt, asphalt or concrete). Both are lit for night operations.
