Osvaldo Vieiro International Airport (IATA code OXB, ICAO code GGOV) is an airport that serves the city of Bissau, the capital city of Guinea-Bissau. It is the only international airport in the country.
As with many airports in Africa, Osvaldo Vieiro is not open 24 hours a day; it is only open from sunrise to sunset.
Osvaldo Vieiro International Airport has one runway, heading 03/21, with a length of 10,498 feet. The altitude of this runway is 127 feet. This runway is also the one of the three in Guinea-Bissau that are paved.
The airport had to be closed on June 7 1998 due to intense fighting in and around Bissau. It was officially reopened in July 1999 when an Air Portugal plane carrying Prime Minister Francisco Fadul, along with numerous other dignitaries from both Portugal and Guinea-Bissau, landed at Osvaldo Vieiero.
