About Buta Zega Airport
Buta Zega Airport is the main airport serving Buta, the capital of Bas-Uélé Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Inaugurated in 1980, the airport primarily handles domestic flights and occasional humanitarian or general aviation traffic.
The airport lies about 4 km east of Buta city centre and has a single asphalt runway, 07/25, of about 2,100 metres. This allows the airport to accommodate regional aircraft and some larger turboprop or jet operations.
Passenger facilities are limited, with a small terminal building and basic waiting areas. The airport is managed by the Régie des Voies Aériennes, the national airports authority.
Road connections link the airport with Buta and surrounding areas, with onward travel typically arranged by private transfer, taxi or locally hired vehicle. Because scheduled airline service has been limited in recent years, travelers should confirm flight availability in advance.
