Libreville is positioning itself as a key aeronautical hub in Central Africa. With a strong domestic market and strategic geography, Gabon has launched Fly Gabon, its new national airline. Officially inaugurated on August 29, 2024, by President Brice Clotaire OLIGUI NGUEMA, this new carrier marks a fresh era for Gabonese aviation.
Unlike RwandAir, whose assets are 70% owned by Qatar Airways, Fly Gabon is 100% owned by the Gabonese state and directly attached to the Ministry of Transport. It is managed with distinction by Minister Jean-Pierre OYIBA, ensuring full national control and sovereignty over Gabon’s air transport revival.
