Lastourville Airport (IATA: LTL, ICAO:FOOR) is located in the the city of Lastourville, Gabon.
Airport Overview
Lastourville Airport (LTL) is a regional airport serving Lastourville in eastern Gabon. Its position at approximately 0.826667° south and 12.748600° east places it within a remote, forested inland operating environment where cargo planning is more dependent on aircraft availability, road access, handling arrangements and customs coordination than on large-airport connectivity. The supplied airport record identifies ICAO code FOOR, the local time zone as UTC+01:00, and no listed airline or express-carrier count. Our service team therefore treats Lastourville Airport as a destination requiring shipment-by-shipment confirmation rather than as a guaranteed scheduled cargo gateway. For international freight, we assess the feasible routing through an established Gabonese gateway or another regional hub, then coordinate any onward air, road or charter movement to Lastourville Airport subject to current operating permissions and local handling capability.

Key Highlights
- Regional and remote-location profile: cargo should be planned around confirmed uplift and local ground arrangements, not assumed daily freighter capacity.
- The supplied record lists zero airline and express-operator entries; our team verifies current service, aircraft suitability and acceptance status before quotation.
- International consignments may require a gateway transfer, customs pre-clearance planning and a separate onward movement to Lastourville.
- Time-critical, temperature-sensitive, dangerous-goods and live-animal shipments require written acceptance from the operating carrier and the handling party before dispatch.
- UTC+01:00 operating time should be used when aligning document cut-offs, truck arrival, warehouse release and consignee availability.
Cargo Facilities & Services
Lastourville Airport should be handled as a facility-confirmation location. The supplied record does not establish a dedicated cargo terminal, cold store, bonded warehouse, dangerous-goods store, express depot or automated sorting centre. Our service team confirms the following points before accepting a booking:
Routes & Transit Times
- There is no basis in the supplied record to promise a scheduled cargo route, fixed frequency or named operating carrier for Lastourville Airport. We confirm the current schedule and acceptance status case by case.
- International cargo will commonly need to connect through a suitable Gabonese or regional gateway, followed by an onward air movement, road feeder service or approved charter arrangement.
- Routing decisions depend on aircraft payload, runway and weather conditions, available ramp handling, customs location, road conditions, security requirements and consignee readiness.
- Transit estimates are issued only after the complete routing, handling points and clearance responsibilities have been confirmed. Weekends, public holidays, irregular operations and cargo inspection may extend the planning window.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
Lastourville Airport primarily supports the Lastourville area and nearby inland communities. The practical cargo catchment is constrained by road distance, vehicle availability, seasonal accessibility and the location of customs and cargo-release facilities.
- Potential outbound demand may include mining- or forestry-related spares, maintenance parts, tools, safety equipment and time-critical industrial supplies, subject to shipper and consignee verification.
- Inbound consignments may include general commercial goods, machinery components, packaged consumer supplies and project materials that can be safely handled by the confirmed aircraft and local delivery vehicle.
- Perishables, pharmaceuticals, high-value electronics and other sensitive cargo require a verified temperature, security and last-mile chain; they should not be routed on assumptions about local storage.
- Oversized or heavy cargo requires advance review of dimensions, gross weight, aircraft loading limitations, lifting equipment, road access and any required permits.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off control: The effective acceptance cut-off is determined by the confirmed operator and handling party. Our team obtains a written cut-off in UTC+01:00 and does not rely on generic airport timings.
- Documentation: Prepare a commercial invoice, packing list, transport instruction, consignee contact details and any required export, import, product, origin or end-use documents before cargo tender.
- Special cargo: Dangerous goods, lithium batteries, live animals, human remains, perishables, pharmaceuticals and valuable cargo require prior classification, packaging review and carrier approval. Acceptance is never presumed.
- Customs and delivery: Confirm the party responsible for customs filing, inspection attendance, duty and tax settlement, cargo release and final collection. A local consignee or authorised broker may be required.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the commodity, HS code, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, stackability, value, origin, destination and required delivery date before requesting a firm routing.
- Book early enough to allow gateway transfer, customs coordination, local vehicle planning and possible carrier approval. Keep a gateway or road alternative available for urgent shipments.
- Use robust export packaging with clear piece marks, moisture protection and handling instructions. For sensitive cargo, document the acceptable temperature range and handover procedure.
- Do not deliver cargo to the airport until the operator, acceptance location, documentation, customs responsibility and collection arrangement have been confirmed in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can Lastourville Airport receive international air cargo directly?
- Direct acceptance depends on the current operating carrier, aircraft, customs arrangement and local handling capability. Our service team verifies these conditions before confirming a direct movement; otherwise, we propose a gateway and onward solution.
- Are regular freighter flights available to Lastourville Airport?
- The supplied record does not establish a regular freighter schedule. We check current operator availability and may assess passenger-aircraft belly capacity, charter options or a road feeder alternative where appropriate.
- Can temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals be shipped there?
- They may be considered only after confirming storage, power, handover time, security and final-mile conditions. Validated packaging and a documented contingency plan are normally required.
- What is required for dangerous goods?
- Commodity classification, compliant packaging, markings, labels, transport documents and carrier pre-approval are required. Local acceptance and storage capability must also be confirmed before tender.
- How should an urgent industrial shipment be arranged?
- Provide complete dimensions and weight, the equipment or part description, delivery deadline, value and consignee details. Our team then compares confirmed air, charter, gateway-transfer and road options rather than promising an unverified direct service.
Data Sources & Provenance
This module uses the supplied airport master record for the airport name, IATA code, ICAO code, country, city, address, coordinates, time zone and listed operator-count fields. Operational statements are presented as planning guidance and remain subject to written confirmation from the operating carrier, airport representative, customs authority and appointed ground handler.
For independent code and aviation-reference checks, our service team uses the official industry sources iata.org and icao.int. These sources support code and aviation-reference validation only; they do not constitute confirmation of current schedules, cargo facilities, customs hours, handling capacity, rates or service availability at Lastourville Airport.
Verification boundary: No unverified runway, terminal, warehouse, throughput, airline, frequency, tariff, handling-hour or transit-time figure is presented. Current shipment conditions must be reconfirmed at quotation and booking stage.
