GFLL is the ICAO code for Lungi International Airport (IATA FNA), located in Freetown (Lungi-Town), Sierra Leone.
Lungi International Airport (GFLL/FNA) is Sierra Leone's sole international gateway, located in the coastal town of Lungi and separated from the capital, Freetown, by the Sierra Leone River.
The airport's longest runway accommodates regional and intercontinental turboprops and transport aircraft typical of West African hub operations. Light to midsize jets can be based and serviced here, though the facility's primary role is scheduled airline traffic connecting Freetown to regional centers and Europe. The low elevation of 84 feet poses no operational constraint for aircraft performance or weather prediction.
GFLL sits on the Atlantic coast in a tropical climate zone where seasonal rainfall and weather patterns reflect the Guinea monsoon belt. Pilots should account for humidity, visibility fluctuations during the rainy season, and the maritime environment typical of West African coastal fields. The river crossing between Lungi and Freetown remains a geographic reality that affects ground transport for passengers and crew arriving on international flights.
The airport's role as Sierra Leone's sole international facility makes it the primary node for foreign business, government, and humanitarian aviation. Private charter operators, fractional owners, and occasional owner-flown aircraft use GFLL as the entry point for the country, though the field's primary traffic remains scheduled passenger and cargo service. FBO facilities and maintenance support reflect a working international airport rather than a specialized business-aviation hub.
Travelers and charter planners should expect standard African international procedures and infrastructure befitting a national gateway, with modest ground services compared to major hubs, and coordinate river-crossing logistics for ground movement between the airport and Freetown's business districts well in advance of arrival.
Freetown International Airport (officially), formerly known as Lungi International Airport, is an international airport situated in the coastal town of Lungi, Sierra Leone. It is the sole international airport in Sierra Leone. The Sierra Leone River separates the airport from Freetown, the capital city.
