About Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport
Overview
Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, located at coordinates 5.261390, -3.926290. The airport sits at a low elevation of 21 ft mean sea level, with a single runway 03/21 measuring 9,843 feet in length and surfaced with asphalt.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 69.7% of observations showing clear weather and only 2% IFR conditions. The prevailing winds are southwesterly at 225° with an average speed of 6.8 knots, rarely exceeding 19 knots. October through December offer the most consistently favorable flying conditions, with optimal visibility and minimal weather restrictions.
Notable Features
The airport's low elevation and coastal location near Abidjan create stable atmospheric conditions with minimal terrain-related turbulence. Visibility consistently remains high, averaging 10 statute miles with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility (fog appears in only 0.2% of observations). The runway alignment allows for excellent wind coverage, with favorable wind conditions present 100% of the time.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 experiences minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind component of just 2.2 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 22°C to 32°C, with an average of 27.3°C, which should not significantly impact aircraft performance. Pilots can expect consistent, predictable approach conditions with high probability of visual meteorological conditions.
