Ahmed Sékou Touré International Airport

The airport was built in 1945.

In the 1970s, Soviet Naval Aviation was granted facilities at the airport to serve as a staging base for Atlantic maritime reconnaissance patrols by Tu-95RTs aircraft.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}

It was reported in 1975 that most of the Guinean air force's aircraft were based at Conakry-Gbessia Airport.Harold D. Nelson, Area Handbook for Guinea, Department of the Army Pamphlet 550-174, 1975, p.333 Current air force operations are conducted out of the Conakry-Gbessia Airport.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}

In 2009, with a goal to increase annual passenger capacity to 1 million passengers, renovations began on the main terminal. Renovation costs amounted to 60 billion GNF (Around 85 million EUR).[http://mountmane.hautetfort.com/archive/2009/08/06/info-guinee.html Info-Guinée : mountmane] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426082618/http://mountmane.hautetfort.com/archive/2009/08/06/info-guinee.html |date=26 April 2012 }}. Mountmane.hautetfort.com. Retrieved 27 June 2012. The government debated in 2007 whether to relocate the Conakry Airport to Forecariah, although no official changes have been declared, as of 2011.[http://www.jeuneafrique.com/Article/LIN09097harossnohcu0/Actualite-Afrique--haro-sur-les-bouchons.html Conakry : Haro sur les bouchons ! | Jeuneafrique.com – le premier site d'information et d'actualité sur l'Afrique].

Traditionally, passengers embarked on all flights directly on the tarmac with transfers to the airport either by foot (most inter West African flights) or by buses for all European flights. The new renovations included gateways and an improved passenger departure lounge. As of January 2011, no changes have been made to the arrivals (customs and luggage carousels). The airport, as of 2012, has 360,000+ passengers per year.
