Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport guide

Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport serves Abidjan, the economic capital of Côte d'Ivoire. It lies in the Port-Bouët district on the Gulf of Guinea coast, about 16 km southeast of the city centre. It is the country's main international gateway and the hub of Air Côte d'Ivoire.

A private company, AERIA, has run the airport under a state concession since 1996. The state renewed the concession in 2010 for 20 years. The airport has one runway, 03/21, about 3,000 m long. It handled 2,535,451 passengers and 33,104 aircraft movements in 2024, plus 32,559 tonnes of cargo.

More than 20 airlines serve the airport, with scheduled flights to over 40 international destinations in Africa, Europe and the Gulf. The main international terminal was rehabilitated and extended from 1997 to 2001, which raised its capacity to about 2 million passengers a year, and traffic has since passed that level. Terminal 2, a smaller terminal for about 400,000 passengers a year, opened in May 2023 and handles Hajj flights, domestic services and some regional international flights. Works under way aim to raise capacity to more than 5 million passengers a year. SOTRA bus line 6 links the airport to the city in about 25 minutes.
