Malabo airport fees: what you pay at SSG
No official tariff for Malabo was found. A July 2026 press report says departing passengers pay a security fee of 3,500 to 8,000 FCFA, depending on the type of flight, and an airport infrastructure development fee (RDIA) of 2,000 FCFA. Together these average about 9,000 FCFA, before other taxes built into the fare. The same month the government ordered an audit of air taxes, but no cut had been announced. Treat these figures as press-only.
