About Bakouma Airport
Bakouma Airport (BMF, ICAO: FEGM) is a small airstrip serving Bakouma, a village in Mbomou prefecture in the Central African Republic. It provides a basic air link for one of the country's more remote eastern areas, where road travel can be slow and difficult.
The airstrip lies approximately 2 km east of Bakouma along the RR18 road and has a single unpaved runway oriented roughly east-west. Operations are suited to light aircraft and smaller regional flights rather than large commercial jet services.
Passenger infrastructure is minimal, with no multi-terminal layout, and check-in, arrivals and baggage handling are typically managed by the operating aircraft or local staff. Travellers should plan supplies and confirm flight arrangements in advance.
Road access to Bakouma and surrounding communities is possible, but public transport is limited, so onward travel is normally arranged by private vehicle, pre-booked transfer or local transport. The airport is best understood as a remote regional landing point rather than a full-service passenger hub.
