Small regional airport serving Cameroon's industrial southwest.

Location
Tiko, Cameroon
Tiko Airport (IATA: TKC, ICAO: FKKC) is a small airport located in Tiko, a town in the Southwest Region of Cameroon. It serves the local community and surrounding areas, including the nearby economic hub of Limbe and the broader Fako Division. The airport has historically been associated with the region's agricultural and industrial activity, particularly related to the Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC), which operates large banana and rubber plantations in the area. Scheduled commercial service has been limited, and the airport primarily handles light aircraft and occasional charter flights. Due to ongoing security concerns in Cameroon's Anglophone regions, which have experienced civil unrest since 2016, regular air traffic at Tiko has been significantly disrupted, and the airport's operational status has fluctuated in recent years.
Terminals
The airport has a basic, small terminal facility consistent with its limited regional traffic volume.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between Tiko Airport and surrounding towns such as Limbe and Buea is primarily by road using taxis and private vehicles.

City & Place Guide

Port town gateway to Mount Cameroon and coastal adventure

Tiko is a small port town in the Southwest Region of Cameroon, situated along the Mungo River estuary near the Gulf of Guinea. Once a significant export hub for bananas during the colonial era, the town retains a laid-back industrial character shaped by its agricultural and maritime heritage.

Surrounded by lush rainforest, banana and rubber plantations, and proximity to the slopes of Mount Cameroon, Tiko serves as a practical stopover for travelers moving between Douala and Buea. It is not a major tourist destination but offers an authentic glimpse into everyday life in coastal Cameroon, with a friendly local population and scenic natural surroundings.

Getting around: Shared taxis and motorcycle taxis known as okadas are the primary modes of transport within Tiko. Minibuses connect the town to Douala and Buea, with departures from the motor park. There is no reliable rideshare app service, so negotiating fares directly with drivers is standard practice.

Best time: The dry season from November to February offers the most comfortable conditions for visiting, with lower humidity and reduced rainfall.

Local food: Try ndolé stew made with bitter leaves and groundnuts, grilled fish fresh from the estuary, and plantain dishes commonly served at local chop houses throughout town.
