Question Lubumbashi Airport Ground Handling

Anyone who has any personal experience into Lubumbashi (FBM/FZQA), Congo D.R.? Who provides ground handling there and if they have the GSE like MDLs, Tail-stand, etc for a 747F? Can someone share their view?

Wonderful Lubumbashi...

If they have external power, assume it does not operate.
Be sure your APU works to go there.
No guarantees they have fuel. Might take a small "commission" to get some.
I doubt they have a tail stand. If they had one, probably been stolen long ago.

Happy contrails

Strange, I was looking into FBM the other day for a charter.

Short answer is due to construction, rwy length shortened to 8000ft...
