How to travel around Guinea by air

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

Flying between cities in Guinea

  • Eligible agencies should verify MAF flights in Guinea
    MAF Guinea’s domestic shuttle is not a general commercial tourist service. MAF says it is authorized to fly NGO personnel and humanitarian partners; its agency form requires passengers to be associated with the agency’s humanitarian/development activity in Guinea and prohibits commercial use. Eligible, approved agencies may request demand-dependent flights: Tuesdays, Conakry–Siguiri–Faranah–Conakry; Thursdays, Conakry–Faranah–Nzérékoré–Beyla–Kissidougou–Conakry. A flight request is not a booking confirmation; agencies should confirm eligibility, dates and seats with MAF before planning.

Arriving from another country

  • Report baggage issues to Ethiopian after arrival in Guinea
    Ethiopian’s Guinea site directs missing baggage to its representative at the destination airport and asks that damage be reported before leaving the arrival hall. Use your ticket and bag details rather than treating this as an airport-wide compensation process for all airlines.
