Equatorial Guinea's interior gateway serving Mengomeyén.
Location
Mengomeyén, Equatorial Guinea
President Obiang Nguema International Airport is located in Mengomeyén, the capital of the Wele-Nzas Province in eastern Equatorial Guinea. The airport was developed to improve connectivity to this relatively remote inland region of the country and is named after the nation's long-serving president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
The airport serves limited domestic and regional traffic, reflecting the small population of Mengomeyén and its surrounding area. Air transport infrastructure in Equatorial Guinea outside of Malabo and Bata remains modest, and this facility is no exception.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to and from the airport is primarily by road, with taxi and private vehicle being the main options available.
