Quatro de Fevereiro Airport ( 4 February Airport) is located in Luanda , the capital city of Angola . In 2004, the airport served 742,629 passengers. INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS On 12 February , 2000 , a Transafrik cargo Boeing 727 crashed upon landing on runway 23. Due to high winds gusting to between 50 and 80 Knots , the aircraft had executed a missed approach, and upon the landing flare of the second attempt, witnesses saw the right wing touch the ground. On May 25 , 2003 , another 727, US Number plate N844AA , was stolen off the tarmac of the airport. The aircraft was reported to be working for Air Angola at the time. The aircraft had reportedly been in Seychelles and had asked permission to land but had disappeared after that. There is considerable mystery surrounding the plane, as it had been parked on the tarmac for over a year accumulating airport fees exceeding $ 4,000,000. AIRLINES AND DESTINATIONS
