## Description

Afrijet Business Services and Afric Aviation anchor the schedule at POG, the airport that keeps Gabon's oil capital connected. Port-Gentil sits on Mandji Island in the Ogooué delta with virtually no road link to the rest of the country, so people, equipment and freight for the petroleum and timber sectors move by air and sea. The field became the main gateway for the offshore oil industry, and recent terminal and runway upgrades lifted capacity toward one million passengers a year while expanding cargo handling. Air freight here is mostly belly cargo and oil-service charters rather than scheduled freighters; intercontinental cargo is consolidated at Libreville (LBV). Customs clearance is handled by Gabon's national customs authority.
