Gateway to Cameroon's Adamawa Plateau highlands.
Location
N'Gaoundéré, Cameroon
N'Gaoundéré Airport (IATA: NGE, ICAO: FKKN) serves the city of N'Gaoundéré, the capital of the Adamawa Region in central Cameroon. Situated at an elevation of approximately 1,104 meters (3,622 feet) above sea level on the Adamawa Plateau, the airport handles both domestic and limited regional traffic.
The airport plays a strategic role in connecting N'Gaoundéré to Cameroon's main commercial hub, Douala, and the capital, Yaoundé, as the city is also an important rail terminus. Camair-Co, Cameroon's national carrier, has historically operated scheduled services to this airport.
Infrastructure at the airport is modest, reflecting the relatively small population of the surrounding region. The facility supports the movement of passengers, cargo, and occasionally humanitarian or military operations in the Adamawa and Adamawa-adjacent regions.
