## Description

Seat of the centuries-old Bamoun kingdom and its royal palace, Foumban anchors a region known for bronze casting and crafts — but none of that trade moves through the local airport. Foumban Nkounja (IATA: FOM, ICAO: FKKM) sits in the Koutaba area at about 1,210 metres above sea level and has a single asphalt runway, 04/22, of 2,100 metres, long enough for larger turboprops. There is currently no scheduled passenger service; the field handles charter, government and occasional special flights. It has no cargo terminal, no handling agent and no customs post, and no cold-chain or dangerous-goods capability. Air freight for the Bamoun highlands is handled at Douala (DLA), Cameroon's main cargo airport and seaport, roughly 300 road kilometres away, with Yaoundé Nsimalen (NSI) as the alternative. Between Foumban, Bafoussam and the coast, the truck remains the decisive mode.
