Bitam Airport — Bitam, Gabon

Bitam Airport, coded BMM, serves the town of Bitam in northern Gabon, close to the borders with Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. One runway, set at 1,969 feet, carries domestic connections within Gabon, a country where dense rainforest limits road infrastructure between many towns. As a medium airport, BMM plays a practical role for a border town positioned at the intersection of three Central African countries. Air travel remains an important option in this part of Gabon, where the rainforest terrain makes overland journeys between towns considerably slower. Bitam Airport's single runway handles the limited but essential flights connecting the town to Libreville and other Gabonese cities.
