How to travel around Equatorial Guinea by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Equatorial Guinea

  • Check Malabo, Bata and Mongomeyen for CEIBA domestic connections
    CEIBA’s website lists Malabo, Bata and Mongomeyen as domestic destinations. Confirm the date and ticket for Equatorial Guinea domestic connections rather than treating separately listed prospective destinations or advertised fares as confirmed flights.

Arriving from another country

  • Provide accurate bag-tag and description details for delayed CEIBA baggage
    CEIBA’s baggage-tracing page stresses accurate tag details, address, brand, colour, type and contents. Provide truthful details about your own missing bag after arrival rather than treating a submitted description as confirmation of recovery or compensation.

Do not apply CEIBA international extra-baggage charges to domestic sectors

CEIBA’s baggage page expressly covers international flights and varies extra charges by destination, region and aircraft. Check your actual sector before departure and confirm domestic connections separately rather than treating the international guidance as a countrywide allowance or price.
