2.2 Republic of the Congo Aviation
Overview
Key airport information may also be found at: http://worldaerodata.com/
The civil aviation sector in the Republic of the Congo is regulated by the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation while the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) is the Government agency that manages and administers the network of 23 notable airports, including two international airports in Brazzaville (Maya-Maya) and Pointe Noire (Agostino Neto), and one approved airport for international flights (Oyo-Ollombo airport).
Most of the other national airports are airstrips or airfield that very rarely used. Some of them are in very good condition (comparable to international airports), some are in decent condition, and others cannot be used as they were not properly maintained, or not maintained at all. These airports are mainly used for government purposes. More details about each airport are available in other sections of this document.
A new airport terminal and a new runway have been recently built at the airport of Brazzaville and a new terminal was inaugurated in 2016 in the Pointe-Noire airport to increase the passengers capacity.
Major constraints in the aviation sector of the RoC are related to the length of time it takes to obtain overflight and landing clearances for United Nations and diplomatic planes, since the request must pass through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Directorate-General for Strategic Affairs and Military Cooperation (DGASCOM).
For the airspace security and navigation of aircraft, ASECNA is responsible for the following duties:
- Control of the airspace circulation
- Guidance of airplanes
- Transmission of technical and traffic messages
- Information about flight arrivals/departures
- Meteorological information
- Guidance of flights inside the airport and terminal approaches
- Handling of fire emergency services in the airports
International flights into, from or over territories of the member states of ASECNA (Bénin, Burkina Cameroun, Centrafrique, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, France, Gabon, Guinée-Bissau, Guinée Equatoriale, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritanie, Niger, Sénégal, Tchad, Togo, Union des Comoros) are liable to the current laws and regulations relating to civil aviation in force in the states, that are specified below and can be found at the following link: http://www.ais-asecna.org/en/gen/gen1.htm.

Public Health Measures Applied to Aircraft
Now, specific measures related to COVID are to be applied according to government regulations in the country of arrival. Since the epidemy is losing intensity across the country, restrictive measure such as curfew are being lifted, so we may expect other measure to be lifted too. We cannot say if the health measures related to COVID in the aircraft will stay in place or not.
Besides COVID matters that are a priority when in place, The regular respect public health measures of aircraft in most of ASECNA States must be respected. The aircraft may land under the condition that has been disinfected approximately 30 minutes before its arrival on the aerodrome. The application of this measure must be properly recorded in the Health Section of the General Declaration.
However, when the insects spraying conditions stipulated in Annex 9 are not applied in theory or when the aircraft is coming from a cholera infection zone with recent cases declared, the sanitary control service can proceed to a new spraying of the aircraft on the ground before the disembarkation of passengers and crew.
If, in special circumstances, the public health authorities find it necessary a second spraying of the aircraft on the ground, passengers and crew are permitted to disembark beforehand.

2.2.17 Republic of the Congo Mossendjo National Airport
Airport Overview
The airport is located near in the city of Mossendjo, in the Niari Region. It is not in use anymore and used to be a landing point for government members. It can be considered a simple former landing strip, rather than an airport. There is no infrastructure, but the air strip itself remain compact, even though the weeds have grown over the time. The access road is in good condition (compacted laterite), so there is no major constraints in terms of accessibility. However, it is very important to meet with local authorities before reaching the airport. Most of the time the following authorizations are needed: Prefecture, mairie, and police.
The air strip has now some village houses on it.

2.2.22 Republic of The Congo Djambala National Airport
Airport Overview
The airport is located near the city of Djambala, in the Plateaux Region. Its building is in good conditions, as well as the runway. The security installations are there, but are not or never used. The main use of this airport is for Government visits, 3 to 4 times a month at the maximum. The access road is in very good condition, so there is no major constraints in terms of accessibility. However, it is very important to meet with local authorities before reaching the airport. Most of the time the following authorizations are needed: Prefecture, mairie, and police.
The airport is not being used frequently and its facilities not being properly maintained is a drawback, but the runway is nonetheless in excellent condition, and has the capacity of landing aircraft such as Boeing 737. It has an excellent runway and is comparable to international airports.
The control tower is operated in Brazzaville, and coordinated with Olombo, and there are no phone network problems to report in the area.
