Source-specific airport notes
Regional role cue
BZV is Brazzaville's main international airport and the largest airport in the Republic of the Congo source trail.
Accepted from the airport reference trail as a role-specific cue for BZV; not treated as a live service guarantee.
Location cue
Maya-Maya serves the Brazzaville capital corridor, not the Pointe-Noire coastal airport market.
Used to make the airport page location-specific beyond the code, coordinate, and timezone record.
Name or history cue
The airport was modernized and enlarged between 2010 and 2015 after originally being built northwest of old central Brazzaville.
Retained because history, naming, or opening context helps distinguish this airport from same-shaped airport pages.

When alternates matter
FIH Kinshasa is the closest retained alternate at 26 km, time difference +0h.

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Brazzaville is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Brazzaville is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Maya-Maya International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
