Arrivals & Departures

Transport to and from Luanda’s New Airport

All practical options to reach Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport — clear, current and stress-free.

🧭 Train (Temporarily Suspended)
Important update: Train service between Bungo Station and Dr. António Agostinho Neto International Airport remains suspended as of October 2025 due to ongoing maintenance and safety adjustments. The CFL had announced a planned return for September 2025, but no official confirmation of resumption has been released yet. The reopening is expected soon, as the airport prepares for full international operations later this month.

When running, the train is typically the most affordable and predictable option (~45 min via Viana, starting at Bungo).

📍 Getting to Bungo Station (City Center)

Bungo Station is the central rail hub. Reach it via taxi or ride-hailing; it’s also walkable from some downtown hotels. We don’t recommend informal shared transport (“candongueiros”) for first-time visitors.
