About Bétou Airport
Bétou Airport is a small regional airport serving Bétou, a town in the Likouala Department of northeastern Republic of the Congo. Situated close to the Ubangi River, the town lies near the border with the Central African Republic, and the airfield provides an important air link for a remote part of the country where road access is limited.
The airport has a single unpaved runway of about 1,000 metres that also forms part of the road leading westward out of town. It handles domestic flights and mainly supports travel between Bétou and larger centres in the Republic of the Congo.
Bétou is located roughly 1,000 kilometres northeast of Brazzaville. Because of the distances and limited road infrastructure, air travel is one of the main ways to reach the area, while the Ubangi River also supports onward movement and trade.
The airport's passenger facilities are basic, and the terminal area is small. Travellers should plan ahead and confirm flight details with their airline before departing or arriving in Bétou.
