It has no scheduled airline service and mainly supports light aircraft, charter flights, and humanitarian or NGO operations.

💡 Local Tip
If you arrive on a Foya market day, expect the town to be busy and motorbike taxis to fill quickly—secure your onward ride before landing or ask your host to meet you at the airstrip.
🚖 Getting There

Arrange your pickup before arrival, as there is no regular taxi rank at the airstrip; most travelers use a pre-booked 4x4, motorbike taxi, or ride from a local host. The road into Foya is often unpaved and can become muddy from May to October, so confirm conditions and allow extra time. If you are crossing into Guinea, carry your passport and check border opening hours, as formalities can add significant delay.
