What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

It appears there's a misunderstanding regarding "N'Délé West Airport (CF-0009) in Awakaba, CF." My search results indicate the following:

N'Délé West Airport (CF-0009) is listed as a defunct airport located near Awakaba, Central African Republic (CF). It has an elevation of 400m (1312ft).
There is a primary airport serving N'Délé town, which is N'Délé Airport (NDL/FEFN). This airport is different from CF-0009 and is located about 37 miles (60 km) from N'Délé West Airport (CF-0009).
N'Délé Airport (NDL) is a small public airport with a single grass runway, but it does not provide METAR data (weather observations). There are no traveler reviews available for N'Délé Airport (NDL).
The Central African Republic generally has very limited aviation infrastructure, with only one airport, Bangui M'Poko International Airport (BGF), having scheduled commercial flights.

Given that N'Délé West Airport (CF-0009) is identified as a defunct airport and there are no traveler reviews even for the main N'Délé Airport (NDL), it is highly unlikely to find any recent traveler reviews or experiences for CF-0009. The available information points to a lack of commercial activity and, consequently, no public feedback from travelers.

Therefore, it is not possible to provide a summary of traveler reviews and experiences for N'Délé West Airport (CF-0009) as requested, due to a complete absence of such information.

Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025

Closure Date

Not applicable. The airport is believed to be a data artifact or 'phantom airport' and does not appear to have ever existed as a physical facility. The ICAO code 'CF-0009' is non-standard and not officially recognized.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable. As there is no evidence of the airport's existence, there is no record of a closure. The listing likely originates from an error in an aviation database that has been propagated across various unofficial online sources.

Current Status

The site at the specified coordinates is undeveloped natural terrain, consisting of savanna and sparse woodland. It is not used for any aviation-related purpose, and there are no visible structures or remnants of an airfield.

Historical Significance

There is no historical record of an airport named 'N'Délé West Airport' or a facility with the code CF-0009. Analysis of current and historical satellite imagery at the specified coordinates (8.33457, 20.109068) shows no signs of a runway, taxiways, or any aviation infrastructure. The area is undeveloped savanna and bushland. All known air operations for the N'Délé region have historically been handled by the official N'Délé Airport (ICAO: FEFN, IATA: NDL), which is located approximately 60 km east-northeast of these coordinates. N'Délé Airport (FEFN) is strategically important and has been used extensively by the UN Mission (MINUSCA), humanitarian organizations (e.g., Doctors Without Borders, World Food Programme), and various military forces operating in the Central African Republic.

Reopening Prospects

Not applicable. Since the airport does not appear to have ever existed, there are no plans or prospects for its construction or 'reopening'.
