Aéroports Nationaux de Côte d’Ivoire

National Airports of Côte d’Ivoire is the state-owned administrative body responsible for the management, operation, and technical maintenance of the country's domestic airport network. It functions as a central authority under the Ministry of Transport, ensuring that secondary airfield infrastructure supports regional connectivity and complies with international safety and security standards. Its primary role involves the upkeep of runways, terminal buildings, and technical installations outside the major international hubs. The organisation oversees a network of regional airports including those located in Yamoussoukro, San-Pédro, Man, Korhogo, Odienné, and Bouaké. It works in coordination with the National Civil Aviation Authority to implement national air transport policies. While international traffic is largely concentrated at Abidjan, this organisation maintains the infrastructure necessary for domestic carriers and private operators to reach the Ivorian interior. Prospective partners or contractors should verify the current status of specific regional airport upgrade projects and the specific division of responsibilities between this state body and private ground handling operators. It is also important to confirm the technical specifications of airfield lighting and navigation aids at individual sites, as service levels vary significantly across the domestic network.
