## Description

Cocoa, cashew and chilled produce set the tone for freight at Abidjan's Port Bouët (ABJ/DIAP), the Ivory Coast's dominant air cargo station. Throughput reached 34,844 tonnes in 2025, up about seven percent year on year, alongside some 2.55 million passengers. The airport sits 16 km south-east of the city centre and is operated under concession by AERIA, in which the engineering group Egis holds a stake; that concession passed its thirtieth year in 2026. Menzies Aviation performs ramp and cargo handling, with African Sky Cargo acting as GSSA for several carriers. Capacity is overwhelmingly bellyhold on scheduled services by Air France, Brussels Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines and Turkish Airlines to Paris, Brussels, Addis Ababa and Istanbul rather than dedicated freighters. Because the Port of Abidjan, West Africa's largest seaport, lies in the same city, sea-air routings need no cross-border pre-carriage, while road corridors running north serve landlocked Burkina Faso and Mali. Customs clearance is carried out on site by Ivorian customs; Accra (ACC) and Lomé (LFW) are the practical alternatives in the sub-region.
