President Obiang Nguema International Airport (IATA: GEM, ICAO: FGMY), is an airport located 1.0 kilometre (0.6 mi) southwest of the town of Mengomeyén, (also spelled Mongomeyen) in the mainland province of Wele-Nzas, Equatorial Guinea. The airport is named after Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who has been president of Equatorial Guinea since 1979.
The airport is the latest airport to be built in Equatorial Guinea and is the fifth international airport serving Equatorial Guinea, and is designed to connect the nation's geographically isolated areas such as Annobón and Corisco to the main population centers. The airport serves the nearby cities of Ciudad de la Paz, Equatorial Guinea's future capital, and Mongomo, the hometown of the President.
