HGS is the airport code for Hastings, an airfield near Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, in West Africa on the Atlantic coast. Hastings lies to the east of central Freetown and serves as a secondary airfield for the capital area, used for domestic and light aircraft, while Sierra Leone's main international gateway, Lungi International Airport, sits across the estuary to the north. Freetown is a lively coastal capital set on a mountainous peninsula, known for its Atlantic beaches, its history as a home for freed slaves, from which it takes its name, and landmarks such as the old Cotton Tree. The peninsula is fringed by fine beaches like those at River No. 2 and Tokeh. Hastings and Freetown are reached by road around the peninsula, and the country by air through Lungi. The climate is hot and tropical, with a heavy rainy season and a drier season.
