Cabinda Airport — Cabinda, Angola

Cabinda Airport serves Cabinda, the capital of Angola's Cabinda Province, an exclave separated from the rest of Angola by a strip of territory belonging to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The single runway here sits 66 feet up, connecting Cabinda to Luanda and other Angolan cities, since overland travel between the exclave and the Angolan mainland requires passing through Congolese territory. Coded CAB, the airport carries considerable importance given Cabinda's oil-producing economy and its geographic isolation from the rest of the country. Air travel through CAB remains the most practical way to reach Cabinda Province from mainland Angola, sidestepping the international border crossings overland routes would otherwise require.
