Akieni Airport (AKE)

Akieni Airport (AKE) is a small airstrip serving the Akieni community in central Gabon. Facilities are basic: an unsealed runway, a small apron, and a simple terminal hut/office used on flight days for charter and local services. Passengers check in with the operator and board on foot across the apron; arriving baggage is returned by hand.

The layout is minimal and ground‑level. From the access road to the terminal entrance is under a minute, and the walk to the aircraft is typically 30–60 seconds. There are no buses or jet bridges; movements are coordinated locally.

Security screening is lightweight and follows local regulations; there are no immigration or customs facilities. International formalities are handled at major Gabonese gateways such as Libreville (LBV) on connecting itineraries.

Amenities are limited to restrooms when staffed and seating in the waiting room; there are no shops or ATMs. Ground transport is by pre‑arranged vehicles; plan for limited mobile coverage in forested areas.

Accessibility is step‑free at the entrance; staff can assist passengers with reduced mobility. Family facilities are minimal—bring water, snacks, and baby supplies.
