MALABO  AIRPORT review : 3 August 2009 : by B Drabble

Customer Rating : 1/5

Madrid-Malabo-Madrid New terminal but baggage claim is a nightmare as is immigration. You are required by law to have yellow fever vaccinations before entering EG so make sure you have certificate with you as random people will ask to see it and will require $20 fine if you cant produce it, they wont stop you entering just that you pay the fine with no receipt (this also happens on departure which is strange) On departure once airside there are no bars or restaurants what so ever so be warned.

Customer Rating : 3/5

Small but new building. Departure: check-in can be chaotic (especially on routes within Africa) but the international departure gate is spacious. Note there are no services (duty free or refreshments) air-side. Arrival: hyper-strict security. Prepare for long delays and numerous passport, finger print and visa checks. Unlike other African airports, however, there is no hassle once you get out of the secure area. There are not many taxis available and most are unmarked. It is assumed that a foreigner will have already arranged for a drive. The ride to the city centre is a quick 10 minutes on a new highway.
