Cotonou Cadjehoun Airport (IATA: COO, ICAO: DBBB) is an airport in Cotonou, the largest city in Benin in West Africa. The airport is the largest in the country, and as such, is the primary entry point into the country by air with flights to Africa and Europe.
The Cotonou VOR-DME (Ident: TYE) is on the field. The Cotonou non-directional beacon (Ident: CO) is located 1.4 nautical miles northeast of the airport.
In 1974, it was decided to move the operations of the Cotonou international airport to a new facility in Glo-Djigbé. Lack of funding quickly stopped the project.
Plans were revived in 2011 and President Yayi Boni presided at a ceremonial start to the construction of the new airport, using South African funding. Construction on the new facility appears to have stalled again.
Meanwhile, improvements to the Cotonou airport were initiated.
