LAD sits in Angola (Republic of Angola), whose capital is Luanda. No specific civil-aviation authority label is attached in the current map, so this page avoids inventing one. Country context: Africa, Middle Africa.
Common country-language signals: Portuguese. Currency context: AOA (Kz). LAD is listed with scheduled service in the airport source snapshot.
LAD is also associated in the airport facts snapshot with 4 de Fevereiro. These labels help catch alternate airport names without creating separate duplicate airport pages.

Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport is a near sea-level field at 243 ft (74 m), positioned at 8.8584° S, 13.2312° E in the Southern deep tropics. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 12,190 ft / 3,716 m. The airport clock uses Africa/Luanda (WAT, UTC+01:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Maianga is the closest retained city-time anchor at 1.4 km. NBJ Luanda (Ícolo e Bengo) is the closest retained airport alternative at 36 km.
LAD is compared with NBJ Luanda (Ícolo e Bengo) at 36 km inside the retained Angola airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
LAD-FIH Kinshasa: 554 km, about 1h 32m, +0h. LAD-BZV Brazzaville: 559 km, about 1h 32m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies LAD as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Luanda.
LAD (FNLU) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 5.6 million passengers, operating from a near sea-level field at 243 ft (74 m).
LAD sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
LAD's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 12,190 ft / 3,716 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt (2).
ENANA is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for LAD.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at angolaairport.net, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
LAD uses Africa/Luanda (WAT, UTC+01:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport is about 2.4 km from central Luanda; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
NBJ Luanda (Ícolo e Bengo) is the closest retained alternate at 36 km, time difference +0h.
angolaairport.net is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place LAD inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
LAD ranks #1 in the curated Angola airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 2 airports.
LAD shares Africa/Luanda with NBJ Luanda (Ícolo e Bengo) AO. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
LAD is 243 ft (74 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include DUB 242 ft (74 m) (1 ft delta) · YQB 244 ft (74 m) (1 ft delta) · YNY 241 ft (73 m) (2 ft delta) · VLC 240 ft (73 m) (3 ft delta) · LAE 239 ft (73 m) (4 ft delta).
LAD's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are NBJ 36 km +0h · FIH 554 km +0h · BZV 559 km +0h.

Central Luanda is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Luanda 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.
Quatro de Fevereiro 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.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from LAD, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
