⚠️ Mandatory Shift to FNLU / LAD for Luanda Operations.

The Angolan Ministry of Transportation has officially designated FNLU / LAD as the exclusive hub for all General Aviation, Business, and MedEvac flights in Luanda.

Consequently FNBJ / NBJ will no longer accommodate these flights, remaining operational for Cargo and Scheduled Passenger flights. We therefore recommend immediately replanning all upcoming flights to FNLU / LAD to ensure full compliance with and uninterrupted support.

FCG OPS remains your trusted partner in the region, offering robust support during this operational shift. We handle the complexities of permit coordination and ground supervision so your flights remain on track. We would be glad to help you in navigating these new requirements and ensuring your arrival in Luanda is perfectly coordinated.

📣 PPR Submissions open for the UEFA Champions League Final!

Arsenal and PSG are heading to Budapest for the season's biggest game on May 30. ⚽

With the matchup confirmed today, May 7, the race for airport access has officially kicked off - which means slot applications are now live. This final is going to be legendary, but the traffic will be too. Interest is already surging, so we recommend securing your PPR immediately to stay ahead of the crowd.

A kind reminder of the mandatory operational restrictions:
• PPR First: A confirmed PPR is required before any slot request is even considered.
• Drop & Go: Long-term parking isn't guaranteed. Plan to drop your passengers and reposition to a nearby airport.
• Fuel Up: Arrive with enough fuel for your departure to avoid major refueling delays.
• Night Restrictions: Strict quotas are in place (20:00–03:55 UTC). CAA exemptions require 5-day advance notice.
• Aircraft Size: The maximum permitted aircraft size is limited to ICAO Code C.
• LHBP / BUD cannot be used as an alternate airport for other destinations during this time.

FCG OPS would be happy to assist in coordinating your PPR, slots, and ground handling services, as LHBP / BUD is part of our handling network.
