Transportation from the City Center to Freetown International Airport
Freetown, the capital of the country of Sierra Leone, is home to the fourth largest natural harbor in the world. The Sierra Leone River runs between the country's only international airport, Lungi Airport, and Freetown. Therefore, you can use both the waterway and the highway to reach the airport, which is 21 km away from the Freetown city center.
Getting to the airport from Aberdeen, the center of Freetown, can be a difficult and unsafe journey. You can reach the airport by using the public transport ferry, private transfer boats or buses used by the local people.
Many tourists prefer to use the private transfer services of two companies, Sea Coach Express and Sea Bird Express, because the other ferry can be very crowded and the probability of pickpocketing is very high. While the boats of Sea Coach Express depart from Aberdeen Bridge, the boats of Sea Bird Express depart from Murray Town.
A bus you can take the regular ferry from Freetown to the airport leaves from Rawdon Street in Aberdeen. While private transfer boats pass to the opposite shore in 30 minutes, it takes an hour for the normal ferry to cross. It can take 4-6 hours to reach Freetown Airport via Port Loko by land and the roads are not very smooth.
If your flight is at night, it is a better option to go to the airport in the morning and wait there, as it is not safe to travel both by road and by ferry at night.
