Travel and transport agencies Libreville

Before the Covid-19 health crisis, Air France operated a daily direct flight between Libreville and Paris Charles-de-Gaulle. It now operates only 5 return flights a week. The journey takes around 7 hours. Internet check-in service with electronic ticket. At Libreville airport, check-in can be done in the afternoon, from 5pm for the evening flight, or at the agency for passengers without baggage. On-board service is impeccable, with a full meal and beverage served during the journey.

Barely off-center, the airport adjoins the road that runs along the seafront, between the interchange giving access to the expressway and the Sablière district, 7 km from the center.

When you disembark, you'll first go through health control and then immigration once you've received your visa. There are several cash dispensers in the arrivals hall.
