Location
Kenema, Sierra Leone
Kenema Airport (IATA: KEN, ICAO: GFKE) is a small domestic airport located in Kenema, the third-largest city in Sierra Leone and the capital of Kenema District in the Eastern Province. The airport serves as a regional air link connecting Kenema to the capital Freetown and other domestic destinations within the country. The airport operates on a limited schedule and primarily supports light aircraft and small regional carriers. Infrastructure is modest, reflecting the airport's role as a secondary domestic facility rather than an international hub. Air connectivity in Sierra Leone has historically been constrained by the country's post-conflict recovery and limited aviation investment.
