About Leo Airport
Leo Airport is a small public airport serving Léo, the capital of Sissili Province in the Centre-Ouest region of southern Burkina Faso. It primarily supports domestic and local air connections for the town and the surrounding area.
The airport lies close to Léo town centre, roughly one kilometre away, and is positioned near the main routes through the province toward the Ghana border about ten kilometres to the south. Its single runway is used by small aircraft operating regional and domestic services.

As a small regional airport, Leo Airport provides a practical entry point for visitors travelling to Léo, nearby communities and the surrounding Sissili area, while longer-distance journeys typically continue through larger hubs such as Ouagadougou.
