Location
Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire

It has historically served as an alternate airport for the country and sees occasional charter and domestic flights. Expansion and development efforts have been discussed over the years given Yamoussoukro's political significance, but traffic volumes remain modest compared to Abidjan.
