## Description

Set in the manganese belt around Moanda, Franceville's M'Vengué airport might look like an ore-export point — yet it is not one. Comilog's manganese leaves the region by the Transgabonais railway to the deep-water Port of Owendo, bypassing aviation entirely. Gabon's third-busiest airport instead works as a passenger and feeder field, with frequent links to Libreville. Air freight is confined to belly loads on scheduled flights, so time-critical shipments are routed through the cargo terminal at Libreville (LBV).
