Airports at each end
Leaving Lima

Arriving in Libreville
Libreville is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Libreville Leon M'ba International Airport (LBV), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,844 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Corisco International Airport (OCS, 59 km).
