Small regional airport serving central Congo's Plateaux region.

Location
Gamboma, Republic of the Congo
Gamboma Airport (IATA: GMM, ICAO: FCOG) is a small domestic airport located in Gamboma, the capital of the Plateaux Department in the Republic of the Congo. It serves as a basic air access point for a town situated roughly 300 kilometers northeast of Brazzaville. The airport operates limited scheduled and charter flights, primarily connecting Gamboma to the national capital Brazzaville. Infrastructure is minimal, reflecting the modest size and economic activity of the surrounding region.
