Airport Overview
The airport is located near the city of Souanké in the Sangha Region. Its building, which is the now the weather station run by the ANAC is in poor conditions as well as the runway, that is currently not in use. Indeed, it used to be compacted laterite, and now the forest has completely taken back the space. The landstripe is therefore considered as non-existent.
The access road is in very good conditions, so there is no major constraints in terms of accessibility or phone network communication. However, there is no internet network on the site.
