  • 01/19 · 3,400 m / 11,155 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt
Verified Sep 2026: coordinates 3.7225N/11.5533E, elevation 694m/2278ft, and runway 01/19 (3400m x 45m asphalt, no ILS) all confirmed exactly as drafted against independent sources. Website corrected — the legacy domain adcsa.aero now issues a 302 redirect to adcsa.info; contact email still resolves on the old adcsa.aero domain so was left unchanged. Runway 01/19 carries no ILS — approaches reportedly rely on VOR/DME (NLY 115.70) and NDB (YNS 368) only, non-precision (retained from draft, not independently reverified against a primary AIP chart). ADC operates seven airports total — Yaoundé-Nsimalen, Douala, Maroua-Salak, Garoua, Ngaoundéré, Bertoua and Bamenda — confirming the draft's Douala-plus-five-other claim; this remains Camair-Co's home hub and Cameroon's second-busiest airport after Douala. Ownership breakdown corrected above — the draft's 63/20/8 percent split naming ASECNA and Camair-Co as shareholders conflicts with the most recent published ADC shareholding data located (91% state / 9% institutional investors, dated 2016); neither figure could be confirmed against a primary ADC filing, so this should be rechecked. The 560,000 (2024) pax figure remains an unverified estimate — only older published figures were found (190,487 in 2004; 208,973 in 2009), so no current total could be corroborated either way. ICAO Class A aerodrome certification (2022) and the Feb 2024 ASECNA Category 1 operational-status upgrade request are retained from the draft but were not.

TotalEnergies Cameroun / TotalEnergies Aviation
Named as a Jet A-1 fuel & oil supplier at Yaoundé Nsimalen in airport-supplier profile data; TotalEnergies Aviation is the group's global into-plane/fuels brand, and TotalEnergies has a long-established Cameroon downstream fuel-logistics presence (Sonara refining stake, lubricant blending plant, Société Camerounaise de Dépôts Pétroliers). TotalEnergies also acquired Libya Oil Holdings' (OiLibya) downstream marketing assets across roughly 17 African countries starting 2018, which in most markets were subsequently rebranded to Total/TotalEnergies through 2019-2021 — plausibly reinforcing rather than duplicating its NSI fuel role. Local into-plane execution at NSI is via handling-agent partnerships (e.g. CGH Aviation).

OiLibya Aviation (Libya Oil Cameroun)
Named as a Jet A-1 fuel & oil supplier at Yaoundé Nsimalen in older airport-supplier profile data, and OiLibya Aviation Fuels Supply was historically documented supplying Jet A-1 across 50+ African airports including a presence at Douala (FKKD) and a listing at NSI. However, TotalEnergies announced acquisition of Libya Oil Holdings' African downstream marketing network in 2018, and in most acquired markets OiLibya stations/operations were subsequently rebranded to Total/TotalEnergies through 2019-2021; this could not be confirmed or ruled out specifically for Cameroon with available sources, so current independent operation of this brand at NSI as of 2026 is unconfirmed and may be stale/superseded by the TotalEnergies entry.

Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA)
CCAA is Cameroon's real, established civil aviation regulator and is understood to run passenger/cabin-baggage screening, checked-baggage/freight and access-control missions at the international airports including Nsimalen under the National Civil Aviation Security Program (PNSAC). The specific claim of transfer from police/customs via a January 2018 presidential decree could not be independently corroborated with available sources and should be treated as unverified detail rather than a confirmed fact; national security-compliance oversight is coordinated via the Comité National de Sûreté (CNS) under the Ministry of Transport.
