Airport Overview
The airport is located near the city of Makoua, in the Cuvette Region. Its building, which is the weather station, is in medium conditions, and the tared runway would need some basic work to use it again. It is now closed but its capacity abled in the past to land cargo aircraft.
The access road is in decent condition during the dry season, but can become an access problem if used by heavy trucks in rainy season. However, it is very important to meet with local authorities before reaching the airport. Most of the time the following authorizations are needed: Prefecture, mairie, and police.
Since it has not been used for a long time, the facilities were not properly maintained, which is a drawback. The runway is nonetheless in acceptable conditions and the main work would be to remove the weeds that have grown over the time.
The phone network is working on the site, as well as internet, but they do not have VHF radio.
