Some of these airfields are not operational. There is no national carrier but there are projects on paper to create one in the near future. Currently there are four private companies flying nationally on charter basis which are Eagle Air, Probiz, SAS Guinea and Con Air in addition to the humanitarian flights by UNHAS and Aviation without Borders.

Procedures for Foreign Registered Aircraft
The application procedure for traffic rights at the International Conakry airport (which are the same for chartered flights and humanitarian flights) are as follows:
- 72 hours before the flight departure: A letter signed by the Representative of the concerned Organization is to be sent to the Civil Air Aviation in Guinea (Direction Nationale de l’Aviation Civile). The letter should be signed and returned by the CAA. The following information should be specified in the letter: Registration number of the aircraft, flight number, call sign, the pilot’s license, and the purpose of the flight, specifying also the name of the company and the name and address of the chatterer. Also to be attached is a copy of the insurance certificate and a copy of the airworthiness certificate.
- As soon as possible when the charter contract is confirmed with a schedule, the air company / the operator of the aircraft should send an SITA telex requesting a landing permit number and over flight permit to Conakry. Like all international airports, Conakry has a SITA address. The request coming from an air company has to contain the exact same information as the letter to the Civil Air Aviation in Guinea, specifying: Type of freight, type of context (for instance, for emergency humanitarian aid), name and address details of the chatterer of the aircraft and the consignee at the destination.
Usually the answer from the Civil Air Aviation will be ready within 24 hours after the SITA message has been received by the Civil Air Aviation. If there are problems getting the permission the charterer should ask the consignee - the humanitarian organisation at the destination - to take an appointment with the Civil Air Aviation to find out what are the problems and discuss them with the Guinean authorities.
For charted flights carrying VIP passengers, additional clearance should be requested at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Normally for chartered flights you need to send a pre-advice to SOGEAC to book the handling, minimum 12 hours before ETD of the flight.
For information on Guinea procedures, please directly contact the Directorate of the National Aviation. Contact details can be found in the 4.5 Guinea Airport Company Contact List.

In order to increase the airport's performance, SOGEAC is planning to build a taxi way which will double the capacity of the airport as the planes will be able to taxi during landing or take-off instead of using the only runway available in the airport.

In order to improve the airport services and attract more air companies (especially cargo), SOGEAC is working on obtaining the RA3 which is a cargo-handling entity located in a third country that is validated and approved as such on the basis of an EU aviation security validation. The RA3 must ensure that security controls, including screening, are applied to all EU/EEA bound consignments and protected from interference. The RA3 and the KC3 checklist is the instrument used by the EU aviation security validator for assessing the level of security applied to EU/EEA bound air cargo or air mail or under the responsibility of the entity seeking designation as a RA3 or KC3. The completed checklist is signed by the EU aviation security validator and, where applicable, commented by the validated entity. If the EU aviation security validator concludes that the entity has succeeded in the complying with the objectives referred to in the checklist, a validation report shall be given to the validated entity. The validation report shall state that the entity is designated Third Country EU aviation security validated Regulars Agent (RA3) or Known Consignor (KC3). The audit will be conducted by Air France. This is the first step to obtain the ACC3 = ‘Air Cargo or Mail Carrier operating into the Union from a Third Country Airport’. It is required by the European Union (including Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) for carriers to fly air cargo into or through the EU. As from 1 July 2014, carrier stations in third countries must have a Security Validation in order to acquire or maintain their ACC3 designation. This validation needs to be reissued every five years.

Airfield Cost
Navigation Charges
The navigation charges are distinguished by the charges to be paid to the Guinean National Navigation Authority for flights level below 100 which is calculated as following equation: √weight of the plane in mt / 1 x US $65. In addition to that there are the regional navigation charges to be paid to the Flight Information Region based at Roberts International Airport in Monrovia, Liberia for flights level above 100. The landing charges at Gbessia International Airport are detailed per metric ton as each metric ton has a different amount for charging. Airspace is divided into lower and upper airspace and into Flight Information Regions (FIRs), which can, as required, encompass Terminal Control Areas (TMAs) or Upper Control Areas (UTAs). An FIR is an airspace with specific dimensions, in which an information service and an alert service are provided. The Roberts FIR TMA extends 40 nm north of Conakry and 99 nm south of Monrovia. The Roberts FIR is a dismemberment of the Dakar FIR. It was established in January 1975 by Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, which decided to manage their airspace jointly. The FIR was named after Roberts International Airport (also known as Robertsfield), which hosted the headquarters at its creation. The headquarters was transferred to Freetown in June 1990 because of the war in Liberia. It has been based in Conakry since June 1997 as a result of the war in Sierra Leone.
