Air transport: Delivery of the renovated track Libreville Leon Mba 

The Léon Mba International Airport is expected to operate an airstrip renovated since September 1st. In rebuilding since 3 August, she underwent maintenance in order to stick to international standards in this area. It is, said the CEO of the company Libreville Airport (ADL), "period work" having been to preserve the safety of users through a renovation of the track surface. The track must be "constantly good quality to accommodate airport traffic", in essence, said Jean-Michel Ratron, recalling: "Last year, we renovated the south end of the runway. This year, we are renovating the north end, and an important area in the center of the track. "Clearly, it is not a "new airstrip" as such.

Still, reassures Jean-Michel Ratron in a recently with the daily L'Union (No. 11616) interview, the track will be renovated to meet the expectations of the many companies that derive, as its "current capacity is much higher traffic ". For him, if the airport Léon Mba treats each day about a hundred movements (takeoffs and landings), "we can easily accommodate more aircraft." This, he says, "for at least 15-20 years."

Moreover, other studies need to be undertaken in the direction of a better offer to users. These include the terminal building and a set of technical installations. "The terminal and parking lots, for example, are getting a bit tight and we proposed to the state, which is a shareholder of ADL, expansion projects that will cope with the growth in passenger numbers , pending the construction of the new airport project, "he confided in the hope of being heard.
