Bafoussam Airport (BFX/FKKU) is a small regional airport serving Bafoussam, the capital of Cameroon's West Region. It sits roughly 10 km northwest of the city near Bamougoum and has a single asphalt runway, handling mainly domestic and occasional charter traffic. The airport provides a quicker alternative to long road trips to Douala or Yaoundé when scheduled flights are operating.
