In a recent press release, Gabon's civil aviation authority, Agence Nationale De l’Aviation Civile (ANAC), stated that Air France had also asked for an option to serve Gabon's second city of Port Gentil 3x weekly, to which Gabon had granted consent "in principle", though the issue was said to be open "to further negotiations and also depended upon the certification of the renovated airport there."
