Check as well the picture in the article. The parking space for the planes is like one big mess !!! I have no idea how they do get out the right plane when it needs to be prepared for departure...

Can't access the site so can't see the picture. But if you're referring to the Ndjili Airport picture on Google Earth, couldn't agree more. Looks worse than some of those aircraft cemetaries in the US desert ...
