Remote gateway serving northern Gabon's Minvoul region.

Location
Minvoul, Gabon
Minvoul Airport is a small domestic airstrip located in Minvoul, a town in the Woleu-Ntem Province of northern Gabon. It serves as a vital link for a remote community with limited road infrastructure, providing essential air access to the region.
