Air France operates five flights a week from London to Conakry, via Paris. Air Afrique operates from New York to Dakar, from where connecting flights are available.
Taxis are available to the city.
Being met at the airport by travel agents, business contacts, family members or friends lessens the risk of this. The fast hydrofoil service along the coast from Conakry to Freetown may resume operation when the civil war in Sierra Leone is over. There is a ferry to Mali which operates when the river is high enough. Travel to the borders with Liberia and Sierra Leone is not recommended. For further information visitors should seek official advice.
