Albano Machado Airport — Huambo, Angola

NOV is the code for Albano Machado Airport, which serves Huambo, one of Angola's largest cities located in the country's central highlands. Huambo was historically significant as a colonial-era railway and administrative center, and its airport has played a role in reconnecting the region following the extensive damage of the Angolan Civil War, during which Huambo saw heavy fighting. NOV supports domestic flights linking Huambo to Luanda and other Angolan cities, serving both commercial travel and the ongoing reconstruction and development efforts in the central highlands. The airport is a key piece of infrastructure for a city working to restore its former status as a major regional hub.
