CKY (GUCY) is a near sea-level field at 72 ft (22 m) in the deep tropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
CKY sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
CKY's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 10,826 ft / 3,300 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
A specific operator or management record for CKY is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at aeroport-conakry.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for CKY
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters

When surface access matters
Ahmed Sékou Touré International Airport is about 8.4 km from central Conakry; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
ROB Monrovia is the closest retained alternate at 516 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
aeroport-conakry.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
