About the place

Yokangassi Airport links the municipal center of Nkayi with regional transport across the Bouenza Department.

Yokangassi Airport provides airfield access for Nkayi, an inland hub in the Bouenza Department. Ground transit along regional roadways can be slow, making the local airstrip a key conduit for business travel, supply movement, and administrative staff coming from larger cities. The landing strip lies just south of the town settlement.
