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. Some of the facilities the airport offers, if you have mobility challenges, include accessible restrooms, ramps, designated parking, and wheelchair assistance. However, it is necessary to call the airport approximately 48 hours before arrival so they can have a staff member on standby to help with your baggage. You can also ask about additional charges since requesting VIP mobility assistance may attract a cost to you. Of course, there is an information desk in the terminal building where you can ask for help.

On your cheap flight to Bujumbura, an alternate airport for Bujumbura is Kigali International Airport (KGL) in neighboring Rwanda. On average, non-stop flights to Kigali from major African cities take around 2-4 hours. While Bujumbura International Airport (BJM) serves as the primary gateway to Burundi, Kigali can be a valuable alternative due to its larger airport, better flight connections, and sometimes more cost-effective fares. If you are a traveler, looking for convenient flight options or exploring the Great Lakes region of Africa might consider using Kigali Airport.
