## Description

The IATA code LFW marks one of West Africa's busier aviation nodes and the home base of ASKY Airlines. As a subsidiary of Ethiopian Airlines, ASKY ties Lomé into Ethiopian Cargo's worldwide network, so freight booked here can reach destinations far beyond the region via Addis Ababa. On the ground, air cargo is handled under SALT's supervision and executed by the operator STH, covering storage, sorting and transfer for both export and import shipments. In 2024 the airport served roughly 1.5 million passengers across some 23 destinations in 19 countries, generating steady belly-hold capacity alongside scheduled freighter movements. Its coastal position links the airport with the deep-water Port of Lomé, letting forwarders combine sea and air legs for shipments moving inland to Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. Togolese customs at the airport processes goods bound for this landlocked hinterland. Notably, Togo markets Lomé as a neutral transfer point bridging anglophone and francophone West Africa.
