Taxis are the most common and convenient option, available directly outside the arrivals terminal. Fares are not metered, so it is essential to negotiate and agree on the price with the driver before starting your journey. For added security and a fixed price, you can pre-arrange a pickup through your hotel.
A limited number of local car rental agencies operate in Goma, but major international brands are generally not present at the airport. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance. Renting a car with a local driver is a popular and often safer option for navigating the city and surrounding areas. 4x4 vehicles are advisable due to road conditions.
Formal public bus services do not connect directly to the airport. The primary forms of public transit in the city are motorcycle taxis (moto-taxis) and shared minibus taxis. While extremely cheap, these are generally not recommended for travelers with luggage due to safety and space constraints. They can be found on the main road outside the airport perimeter.
According to Wikipedia, the plane is a DC-8 that has been stranded since the eruption.
All the best,

There doesn't appear to be a taxiway to the south that could get it to the runway.
In the satellite picture, it looks like there is a very large airplane with no way to get to the runway. I wonder if it's really cut off, or if they taxi it over the lava flow?
A 2002 volcanic eruption nearby sent a lava stream over the north portion of the runway. The south portion of 18/26 is still operational.
On 15 April 2008, a Hew Bora Airways DC-9 lost power to an engine during its takeoff roll, attempted to abort, and overran the end of the runway into a crowded market immediately to the south of the airport:
