Gitega Airport — Gitega, Burundi

Gitega Airport, coded GID, serves Gitega, the political capital of Burundi since the government relocated administrative functions there from Bujumbura in 2019. Located in the country's central highlands, GID supports domestic connectivity and occasional government-related flights, reflecting Gitega's elevated status as the seat of political power even as Bujumbura remains the larger commercial and economic center. The airport's infrastructure is modest, consistent with Burundi's broader limited aviation development, and scheduled commercial service has historically been sparse. Gitega also holds cultural significance as home to Burundi's national museum and royal drum sanctuary, giving GID occasional relevance for visitors interested in Burundian heritage alongside government travel.
