Catoca Airport (IATA: CTV) is an airport in the Lunda Sul Province of Angola. It serves the Catoca diamond mine. The runway is 26 kilometres (16 mi) north of the city of Saurimo.
The runway was asphalted by Fidens under contract to the Catoca Mine.[citation needed] The usable runway was shortened slightly, and received twice weekly flights from Luanda by TAAG Angolan Airlines on a Monday and a Friday. While these flights were operated by TAAG, they were charter flights reserved for Catoca Mine employees only.
