FAQs about flying to Bujumbura

When you get your cheap flight to Bujumbura, your flight will arrive at the Bujumbura International Airport (BJM). BJM is the primary gateway for travelers entering Burundi. The airport is approximately 8 miles from the city center, with neighboring cities like Kigali and Gisenyi in Rwanda within reasonable reach. The airport is small, featuring one major runway, domestic and international arrivals terminals, and an arrivals hall. Navigating through the airport is easily manageable with the available signage along the walkways. You will have to go through customs and immigration officers to get into the country.

You will find that Bujumbura International Airport (BJM) is designed for persons with disabilities in mind.
