4 de Fevereiro International Airport has long served as Angola's principal international gateway, with a single passenger terminal handling a mix of domestic and international traffic. It has historically been congested given Luanda's economic importance, and much of its long-haul traffic has been shifting to the new Luanda International Airport (Novo Aeroporto Internacional de Luanda) which opened nearby.
