Malabo Airport or Saint Isabel Airport is an airport located at Punta Europa,
Bioko Island,
Equatorial Guinea. The airport is named after the capital,
Malabo, approximately 9 kilometres to the east. Until the discovery of
oil in the borders of Equatorial Guinea in the mid-90's, the airport was a tin-roofed shack that only serviced one international flight, the government was the main user of the airport. Today it is used mainly by two opposing groups; the Oil industry and
conservationists. Dutch airline
KLM has renamed one of their planes after
Teodoro Obiang, the president of Equatorial Guinea. During the
Nigerian Civil War, the airport was used as a base for flights into
Biafra.
