Remote airstrip serving Gabon's Haut-Ogooué interior.

Location
Okondja, Gabon
Okondja Airport is a small domestic airfield located in Okondja, a town in the Haut-Ogooué province of southeastern Gabon. It serves as a vital link between this remote interior region and the Gabonese capital Libreville, where road infrastructure is limited. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop services, supporting both civilian passengers and resource-industry operations in the surrounding area. Its runway is unpaved or semi-prepared, consistent with many rural airstrips across Central Africa. Given Okondja's isolation, the airport plays an important role in providing access to medical services, government functions, and commerce for local communities that would otherwise face long overland journeys.
Terminals
The airport has minimal terminal infrastructure typical of a small domestic bush airstrip with basic passenger handling facilities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options from the airport into Okondja town are limited, primarily consisting of private vehicles and informal taxi services.
