Owner's Message
COTONOU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
With more than 520 thousand passengers in 2019, Cotonou International Airport is today the most coveted platform in West Africa by airlines.
Since 2019, the airport has benefited from a vast investment program by the Beninese government whose vision is to make it ''the preferred airport for world travelers'' by 2025.
With this vision in mind, the airport is undergoing a major transformation to :
- Equip itself with modern infrastructure and equipment to international standards;
- Offer an exceptional experience for the comfort and satisfaction of passengers and air operators;
- Comply with safety, security and environmental regulations.
To effectively meet these challenges and translate the government's vision into action, important work has been undertaken, including
- Rehabilitation and upgrading of the runway and taxiways
- New configuration of aircraft stands to optimize parking areas
- Extension and reorganization of the departure hall
- Development of the transfer circuit
- Extension and reorganization of the arrival hall
- Modernization and reconfiguration of the vehicle parks and access roads,
- Digitalization of the airport platform with an AOS / AODB (Airport Operations System / Airport Operations Data Base) operating system
- Redevelopment of the cargo area for new services and activities.
Despite the horrors of the Covid-19 pandemic, Cotonou International Airport is now served by more than 15 airlines with some 20 direct routes.

ensuite l'aéroport ce modernise, souhaitant qu'ils résolvent le Problème des bagages
Pourquoi cela prend autant de temp ?
Des climatiseurs digne de ce nom doivent être installée à l’arrivée, les tapis roulants pour les bagages doivent être modernisés et tout doit être mieux automatisé pour aller plus vite , manque de panneaux , d’écran . Bref il faut aller plus vite dans la modernisation surtout du hall arrivée
