Lastourville (IATA: URV, ICAO:FOOR) is located in the the city of Lastourville, Gabon.
Airport Overview
Lastourville(URV), identified by ICAO code FOOR, is a local airport serving Lastourville in eastern Gabon. The supplied airport record places it at approximately 0.826667° south and 12.748610° east, in the UTC+01:00 time zone. Its location is relevant to inland access planning, but the available master data records no registered scheduled-airline or express-service count. Accordingly, our service team treats Lastourville as a local or limited-access air point rather than a confirmed international cargo gateway. Shipments requiring customs-controlled export, regular uplift, temperature protection or guaranteed onward connections should be planned only after current airport, carrier and ground-handler acceptance has been confirmed. Where direct handling is not available, our platform can assess a routing through a better-served Gabonese gateway followed by coordinated road delivery, subject to cargo type, security conditions and local receiving capability.

Key Highlights
- Lastourville should be handled as a local-access airport unless a current operating carrier and ground agent have confirmed uplift.
- The supplied record shows no listed airline or express-service count, so a normal international air waybill connection must not be assumed.
- For export cargo, the practical plan may involve a larger Gabonese gateway, customs processing there, and a subsequent inland leg.
- Limited local warehousing, screening, refrigeration and cargo acceptance should be treated as unconfirmed until checked for the specific shipment.
- Advance pre-alerting is essential for machinery, project cargo, dangerous goods, pharmaceuticals, perishables and other special cargo.
Cargo Facilities & Services
The available airport record does not establish a cargo terminal, bonded warehouse or specialist handling installation at Lastourville. Our service team therefore verifies each capability before accepting a booking rather than treating passenger-airport infrastructure as cargo capacity.
Routes & Transit Times
- Regular international cargo routing through Lastourville is not assumed from the supplied record. Our team checks the current operating schedule, aircraft type, payload availability and local acceptance before quotation.
- A practical alternative may be airfreight to a better-connected Gabonese gateway, followed by customs coordination and road transport to Lastourville. The exact gateway depends on origin, cargo profile and the consignee’s clearance requirements.
- For inbound shipments, a confirmed airport-to-door plan is required because the air leg, ground transfer, customs release and local collection may be handled by different parties.
- Transit time is affected by uplift availability, aircraft payload, weather, road conditions, customs inspection, security arrangements and the availability of suitable local vehicles. Any estimate is subject to operational confirmation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Lastourville primarily supports the town and surrounding inland communities in eastern Gabon; the achievable service area depends on road access and consignee collection capability.
- Potentially suitable shipments include documents, maintenance parts, small machinery components, industrial supplies and other non-hazardous cargo that can be moved through a controlled handover.
- Heavy equipment, project cargo and mining- or forestry-related supplies require pre-checks for dimensions, loading equipment, vehicle access, road restrictions and final-site handling.
- Fresh food, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, live animals and other sensitive cargo should not be routed without confirmed temperature, welfare, inspection and delivery arrangements.
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cut-off: Obtain the current acceptance deadline, operating days, aircraft limitations and final tender location from the actual carrier or handling agent. A booking reference alone does not confirm physical acceptance.
- Documents: Prepare a consistent commercial invoice, packing list, shipper and consignee details, cargo description, value, country of origin and any required permits. Customs requirements must be confirmed for the selected gateway.
- Special cargo: Dangerous goods require compliant classification, packing, marking, labelling and declaration. Batteries, chemicals, aerosols, perishables, medicines and live animals require separate pre-approval and may be refused.
- Release and collection: Allow for document review, customs inspection, storage limitations and local vehicle availability. Our team coordinates consignee instructions and proof of delivery before dispatching cargo.
Shipping Tips
- Send the commercial invoice, packing list, dimensions, gross weight, commodity description and special-handling requirements to our service team before requesting a firm routing.
- Use robust export packaging with clear piece marks and moisture protection; for awkward cargo, provide photographs and loading details so the aircraft and vehicle restrictions can be assessed.
- For urgent or regulated cargo, request a written end-to-end plan covering acceptance point, customs location, transfer responsibility, storage conditions and final delivery.
- Keep a gateway alternative available. If direct uplift or local handling is unavailable, our team can compare a larger Gabonese gateway with coordinated road transport, subject to the applicable clearance and security checks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Lastourville receive standard international air cargo?
Not automatically. The supplied record lists no airline or express-service count. Our service team must confirm a current carrier, handling agent, cargo acceptance process and customs arrangement for the shipment date.
Can we book a direct express shipment to Lastourville?
A direct express service should not be assumed. We check the integrator or carrier network, destination serviceability and local delivery capability; a gateway-and-road solution may be required.
How should pharmaceuticals or other temperature-sensitive goods be routed?
Obtain pre-approval before packing. Confirm validated temperature protection, transfer timing, inspection exposure, power availability and consignee readiness. If these controls cannot be confirmed, our team will assess an alternative gateway or packaging plan.
What is needed for dangerous goods?
Provide the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, quantity, package specification and shipper’s declaration where applicable. Acceptance remains subject to the carrier, route, aircraft and trained handling resources.
Who handles final delivery and customs release?
This depends on the selected routing. We identify the responsible customs office, handling party and local transport provider in the quotation and require consignee instructions before dispatch.
Data Sources & Provenance
Airport identity, code pairing, location, coordinates, city, country, time zone and record indicators on this page are taken from the supplied airport master data for Lastourville(URV). No runway, terminal, warehouse, throughput, operating-hours, airline, flight-frequency, rate or transit-time figure has been added without a verifiable basis.
For code and aviation-reference checks, users may consult iata.org and icao.int. These references do not by themselves confirm live schedules, local cargo acceptance, customs availability or ground-service capacity. Our service team verifies those operational details with the relevant carrier, handler, customs authority and transport provider before final booking.
