Omboue Hospital Airport (IATA: OMB, ICAO: FOOH) is a small airfield serving Omboue, a town on the Fernan Vaz Lagoon in Gabon's Ogooué-Maritime Province.

Its location makes it a practical access point for visitors heading to the lagoon and nearby Loango National Park.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to confirm both the flight and the onward boat transfer the day before travel; weather and charter schedules in this part of Gabon can change quickly, and the airport has limited services to fall back on.
🚖 Getting There
Getting to and from Omboue Hospital Airport is easiest with a pre-arranged transfer from your hotel or lodge, as taxis may be limited and public transport is not reliable. If you are continuing to lagoon camps or Loango National Park, coordinate boat or 4x4 pickup before arrival. Road conditions can deteriorate in the rainy season, so allow extra time for ground transfers.
