The Guinea-Conakry roadmap for the future

Even though 35% of passenger traffic (600,000 in 2022) comes from Europe, the Asian/Chinese market is growing rapidly. This ambitious project is part of the national development plan, in particular the $20 billion mining project. Hence the good health of business aviation, which represents 40% of its passenger traffic.

The current site will remain operational during the work. The first phase, valued at $27 million will be delivered at the end of September 2023.

“Airports should be run like a business. We need key developers who are open to foreign investors. But we have to monitor and maintain a balance on the concessions for a win-win situation,” said general manager Namory Camara.
