Remote airstrip serving the Adamawa highland town of Banyo.

Location
Banyo, Cameroon
Banyo Airport is a small domestic airstrip located near the town of Banyo in the Adamawa Region of Cameroon. It serves as a basic air access point for a remote highland area that is otherwise reached by long road journeys through mountainous terrain. The airport operates under ICAO code FKAB and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its limited scheduled commercial traffic. It primarily supports light aircraft, charter operations, and occasional humanitarian or government flights rather than regular airline services. Banyo itself is a modest administrative center, and the airstrip plays a logistical role in connecting the region to larger Cameroonian cities such as Ngaoundéré and Yaoundé when road conditions are poor or time-sensitive transport is needed.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Banyo town is limited to road vehicles, as no formal public transit links to the airstrip are established.
