About Nimba Airport
Nimba Airport is a small airport in Nimba County, northern Liberia, close to the triple border with Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire. It serves Yekepa, Sanniquellie and the wider Nimba region, including access to the Nimba Nature Reserve and nearby mining areas.
The airport has a single runway and one compact passenger terminal, and it has long been linked to iron ore mining operations around Yekepa. Its role is regional rather than large-scale commercial, with limited passenger traffic and more basic infrastructure than Liberia's main international gateway in Monrovia.
By road, the airport lies around 10 kilometers from Yekepa and can be used as a starting point for travel to Ganta, Sanniquellie and other parts of Nimba County. Transport is generally arranged by taxi, pre-booked transfer or rental vehicle, as scheduled public transport options are limited.
Because passenger facilities are limited, travelers should confirm flight and ground arrangements in advance and prepare for a small-airport experience.
