About Senanga Airport
Senanga Airport (SXG) is a small public airport serving Senanga, a town on the Zambezi River in Zambia's Western Province. It handles general aviation and regional flights, providing an air access point for an area where road travel over long distances can be demanding.
The airport is located within the southwest section of Senanga and sits close to the Zambezi River, with approach and departure paths crossing the water on some routes. It has a single unpaved runway, designated 10/28, measuring about 1,155 metres, at an elevation of roughly 1,030 metres.
Senanga lies along the M10 road north toward the provincial capital, Mongu, roughly 106 km away, while the road connection to Lusaka is about 690 km. The airport therefore serves mainly local and regional movement, with onward journeys continuing by road, taxi, private transfer or rental vehicle.
Passenger facilities are basic rather than extensive, so travellers should plan ahead for food, cash and transport. For visitors heading to the Zambezi River and the wider Western Province, it remains a useful small gateway in an otherwise remote part of Zambia.
