ICAN 2026
Step 2 of 4

Getting there

Four international airports, three of them practical points of entry for the conference. Official transfers connect the arrival airport, the hotels in the official block and the conference venue.

Airports

Where to land

SSG

FGSL · Malabo

Malabo International Airport

The main international gateway, on the island of Bioko. Refurbished terminal built to international standards. Protocol reception for delegations.

Recommended arrival point
BSG

FGBT · Bata

Bata International Airport

The gateway to the mainland region, with an international terminal and domestic connections. Allow for an onward flight or road transfer.

GEM

FGMY · Mengomeyén

President Obiang Nguema International Airport

Serves Ciudad de la Paz and Mongomo. Handles international, domestic, private and charter operations.

OCS

FGCO · Corisco

Corisco International Airport

Serves the island of Corisco, off the Muni estuary. An international runway with limited use and irregular connections: not a recommended entry point for the conference, but an option for extending your stay.

Check the code before you book

SSG is Malabo and BSG is Bata. The two are easily confused, and the cities are separated by the Gulf of Guinea: booking the wrong code means an extra flight.

On arrival

What to expect when you land

Border control

Documents to present

Passport and visa, yellow fever certificate, invitation letter and accommodation booking. Keep them to hand, not in your checked luggage.

Welcome

ICAN 2026 desk

A welcome desk operates at the airport throughout the arrival days. Delegations that have submitted the protocol form are expected by name.

Transfer

Official shuttles

Vehicles are assigned to the hotels in the official block. Delegations staying outside the block must arrange their own transfer.

Timetables published on 20 November
Currency exchange

CFA francs

Exchange bureaux and cash machines are available at Malabo airport. Have some cash from the moment you arrive for short journeys.

Assistance

Approved travel agencies

Ticketing, transfers, excursions and on-the-ground assistance. These agencies operate in Equatorial Guinea; their inclusion does not constitute an exclusive recommendation by the organizing committee.
