Location
Xangongo, Angola
Xangongo Airport (IATA: XGN, ICAO: FNXA) is a small regional airport located in Xangongo, the capital of Cunene Province in southern Angola, near the border with Namibia. It serves as a key air access point for a largely rural and remote region where road infrastructure can be limited.
The airport handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, primarily supporting government, humanitarian, and occasional commercial operations. Given its remote location and modest infrastructure, it is not a major hub but plays an important role in connecting the province to Luanda and other Angolan cities.
