Gbadolite airport used to be the best equipped airport at the time of its splendor. Since 1997, it has unfortunately been looted several times and stripped of of all its aviation equipment. It remains, however, one of the longest airstrips in the DRC, and is located in a humanitarian hotspot due to the Central African refugee crisis.
