## Description

Unlike island-bound Malabo, Bata Airport (BSG) is the air gateway to mainland Equatorial Guinea and the Río Muni region, the country's continental heartland. Its runway of about 3,310 metres is long enough for almost any wide-body aircraft, though operations are limited to daylight hours. Cronos Airlines anchors the schedule with several daily passenger-and-cargo rotations to Malabo, while Afrijet adds seasonal links to Douala and Libreville; the airport now handles upward of 250,000 passengers a year. For freight, Bata benefits from sitting beside the city's deepwater port, allowing air and sea shipments to be combined for construction, timber and energy-sector cargo. Customs are processed through the national administration, the Dirección General de Aduanas. Time-critical consignments to the mainland move through BSG, while heavy or bulky loads typically travel by sea.
