Catoca Airport is an airport in the Lunda Sul province in Angola. It serves the Catoca diamond mine.
According to aerial photographs, the airport appears to have an unpaved runway that is approximately 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) long.[2]
The runway had recently been asphalted by Fidens under contract to the Catoca Mine. The usable runway had been shortened slightly and now (Since July 2010) receives twice weekly flights from Luanda by TAAG Angolan Airlines on a Monday and a Friday. These flights are operated by TAAG Angolan Airlines but are charter flights reserved for Catoca Mine employees only
