Flying from Libreville
Libreville International Airport may not be the largest air transport centre in Africa, but it provides an excellent starting point for travellers who want to connect with some of the major international air transport hubs around the world.
Passengers flying from Libreville with Qatar Airways will find it to be a well-run and efficient airport, with attentive, professional staff providing a calm and stress-free start to your journey.
Transportation and parking
The easiest way to get to the airport is by pre-booking an official taxi. It is inadvisable to hail a cab from the roadside, as unofficial taxis are often unmetered.
Some buses run throughout the city, but they are not a practical solution for passengers who need to catch an early flight, or who are travelling with a large amount of luggage.
Some hotels do offer a shuttle service, depending on the number of passengers travelling. Check with your reception desk or concierge service to find out more.
Parking at the airport is limited, but as passenger numbers are quite low there is often plenty of capacity for both short- and long-term parking.
At the airport
Passengers flying from Libreville with Qatar Airways depart from the main terminal building’s departure area.
The terminal is quite small, so it is relatively easy to navigate your way around, and due to the low passenger numbers, check-in and security clearance is generally quite quick. However, it is important to ensure that all of your paperwork is in order before you travel.
Facilities and amenities
Facilities at the airport are somewhat limited, but are adequate for most passenger needs. A selection of beverages, snacks and meals are available at the restaurant and cafeteria, while a small choice of retail outlets provide travel essentials, magazines and some limited Duty Free products.
There are passenger information desks available to help you find the correct check-in point, and there are limited ATM and currency exchange facilities on offer.
