Arriving In Lubumbashi
Lubumbashi International Airport is located around 15 km from the center of Lubumbashi and primarily handles regional flights. If you are looking to travel from the UAE to Lubumbashi directly, it won’t be possible as no airlines offer nonstop flights from anywhere in the UAE. However, there is the option to travel with only a single transfer from the UAE to Lubumbashi which makes the journey a lot more bearable.
Lubumbashi International Airport is a relatively small airport and offers very little by way of amenities and services, so bring everything you need to the airport before your journey. There is a business lounge available offering more comfortable and exclusive surroundings as well as additional amenities such as Wi-Fi and refreshments. When your flight has arrived at the airport you can arrange for transportation inside the terminal, although to stay on the safe side you may want to prearrange a private transfer before catching your flight.
