History

The airport was opened in 1952. On 1 July 2019, the airport was renamed Melchior Ndadaye International Airport after the first democratically elected president of Burundi who was murdered in a coup d’etat in October 1993, three months after being elected. This event sparked the decade-long Burundian Civil War.
