Flights to Buea
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Buea is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Douala International Airport (DLA), 55 km (34 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,350 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Malabo International Airport (SSG, 74 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Douala International Airport | DLA | 55 km (34 mi) | 9,350 ft | 33 ft |
| Malabo International Airport | SSG | 74 km (46 mi) | 9,647 ft | 76 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,350 ft, DLA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 33 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
