## Description

A single runway and a dedicated freight terminal handle the bulk of the Ivory Coast's air cargo at Port Bouët, the country's principal aviation gateway. Throughput reached roughly 24,800 tonnes in 2018, up from 20,774 in 2015, ranking it among West Africa's busier freight stations. Menzies Aviation operates ground and cargo handling, while African Sky Cargo acts as GSSA for Turkish Cargo, Ethiopian, Kenya Airways, Lufthansa, Air France and DHL. Most capacity moves in the bellyhold of scheduled services to Paris, Brussels, Addis Ababa and Istanbul, supplemented by regional feeders across West Africa. Outbound flows are dominated by cocoa, cashew and perishable produce, reflecting the country's standing as the world's largest cocoa grower. Sitting beside the Port of Abidjan, the largest seaport in West Africa, the airport supports combined sea-air routing within the same metropolitan area. Customs clearance and bonded storage are handled on site by Ivorian authorities.
