## Description

For freight, road and rail still outweigh aviation at Bouaké: the city is a key stop on the Sitarail-operated Abidjan–Ouagadougou line, whereas the airport (IATA BYK, ICAO DIBK) runs scheduled passenger services only. Air Côte d'Ivoire remains the sole carrier as of mid-2026, serving just two domestic points — Abidjan and Korhogo — with roughly 18 departures a month in total. There is no dedicated cargo terminal and no customs post, so airfreight for the central region is consolidated at Félix-Houphouët-Boigny/Port Bouët (ABJ) in Abidjan, the country's principal freight gateway. Shipments therefore reach Bouaké by truck from Abidjan, a link the railway also serves for heavier and landlocked-destined traffic toward Burkina Faso. The airport's value lies in fast passenger access to Côte d'Ivoire's second city rather than in cargo throughput.
