Kinshasa N'Djili International Airport FIH / FZAA

RVA publishes no public traffic statistics for FIH beyond 2016; the underlying figures check out exactly against the RVA/N'djili Airport Statistics Office table reproduced on Wikipedia (Itanza thesis, pp.27): 828,066 total passengers in 2016 (391,198 arrivals + 436,868 departures), following 791,573 in 2015, 773,338 in 2014, and 753,928 in 2013. Africa rank reportedly slipped from 39th-busiest (2009) to 43rd (2016). The draft's ~1,000,000-for-2024 figure remains an unsourced estimate (extrapolated growth capped near the 2015 terminal's rated ~1M/year capacity) - mark it as such, not a confirmed count. Runway: single-runway field (06/24) - confirmed no second runway currently exists, so any runway closure still halts all traffic today; see runway length caveat above for the 3,300/4,000/4,700 m conflict across sources. Coordinates/elevation (-4.3872, 15.4422 / 1,027 ft, 313 m) are well-corroborated across OurAirports, SkyVector, and both English and French Wikipedia (Wikidata Q645492) and needed no correction. Kinshasa/FIH sits in the far west of the country and is not affected by the conflict in eastern DRC (North/South Kivu, roughly 1,600 km away by great-circle distance), though planners should still monitor DRC-wide security notices. New-terminal project details corrected per the Terminals note above - the SOM/NACO attribution and the specific late-2025-start/Q1-2028-completion timeline in the draft do not hold up against current sourcing, though the 570M/50,000 sqm/5M-pax figures for SOM's 2026 concept are accurate.
