Welcome to Freetown International Airport, also known as Lungi International Airport, which serves as Sierra Leone’s gateway to the world. Nestled in the town of Lungi and separated from the hustle and bustle of capital Freetown by the serene Sierra Leone River, the airport has an intriguing history dating back to its days as a British Royal Air Force base. Transformed into Freetown's airport in 1949, it has since undergone a series of upgrades, the most recent in 2020 included the construction of a new passenger terminal, VIP terminal, taxiways, and the widening of the runway.

From the airport, visitors are offered an array of transport options to get them to the heart of Freetown. Whether you choose a scenic hour-long journey across the Sierra Leone River on the government ferry, a swift water taxi ride, or prefer a bus to other parts of the country, your adventure begins as soon as you touch down. Flying to Freetown is an experience in itself and a mesmerising introduction to the warm and enrapturing charm of Sierra Leone.
