Antonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport
Along the Atlantic coast of the Republic of the Congo sits Antonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport, coded PNR, serving Pointe-Noire, the country's second-largest city and the commercial engine behind its offshore oil industry. The airport's name honors Agostinho Neto, the poet and physician who became independent Angola's first president, a choice reflecting historical solidarity between Congo-Brazzaville and its southern neighbor during the era of African liberation movements. Pointe-Noire sits at the terminus of the Congo-Ocean Railway, and PNR handles the steady rotation of oil-industry personnel, equipment, and executives moving between the city and international hubs, alongside more limited passenger traffic to Brazzaville and other domestic points. Multinational energy companies maintain a significant presence in the city, and their charter and scheduled flights make up a meaningful share of the airport's overall traffic. Beaches along the nearby coastline draw a smaller but steady stream of regional leisure visitors too.
