About Tapeta Airport
Tapeta Airport is a small airstrip serving Tapeta in eastern Liberia's Nimba County, near the border with Côte d'Ivoire. It mainly supports light aircraft, charter and humanitarian flights rather than scheduled commercial services.
Located at the edge of Tapeta town and about 215 km east of Monrovia, the airport has a single laterite runway (09/27) of roughly 840 m. It has no control tower, runway lighting, refuelling or formal passenger terminal, so operations depend on daylight and advance arrangements.
The Liberia Civil Aviation Authority manages the facility, which offers basic aircraft parking but limited supporting infrastructure. Because of this simple setup, most travel to and from the area is by road, with connections running through Nimba County towns such as Ganta and Sanniquellie toward Monrovia.
For visitors and organizations working in Nimba County, the airstrip provides a practical entry point for charter flights, with onward travel arranged by car to Tapeta town and other destinations in the region.
