Flights to Abidjan
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Abidjan is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport (ABJ), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport | ABJ | 13 km (8 mi) | 9,843 ft | 21 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,843 ft, ABJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 21 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
