Sherbro Airfield (unofficially also called Sherbro International Airport or Sherbro Airport ) is an inactive airfield on the outskirts of Bonthe on the island of Sherbro in the Southern Province in Sierra Leone, West Africa .

The airfield has probably not been actively used since 2002. A largely dilapidated machine ( 9L-LBS ) of the type Embraer EMB 110 of Inter Tropic Airlines has been located near the runway since around the end of the 1990s .
