Kenema Airport — Kenema, Sierra Leone

Kenema Airport (KEN) serves Kenema, the third-largest city in Sierra Leone and a hub of the country's diamond and cocoa trade in the Eastern Province. The airport features a single unpaved or lightly paved runway and handles small aircraft, mostly for domestic and charter flights connecting Kenema to Freetown. During Sierra Leone's civil war in the 1990s, the airfield saw military use by government and peacekeeping forces. Today KEN remains a modest regional facility without scheduled commercial airline service, relied upon mainly by NGOs, government officials, and mining company charters operating in the surrounding forested region near the border with Liberia.
