Abidjan · Côte d'Ivoire · AERIA (Aéroport International d'Abidjan) — private concessionaire under Ivorian law since 1996; current concession term renewed effective 1 Jan 2010 for a further ~20 years (draft's claim of "renewed to 2036" is not corroborated by any source found and has been dropped). AERIA's ownership runs through holding company SEGAP, which is split 50% Egis (French infrastructure group, operating partner) / 50% AIIM — African Infrastructure Investment Managers, via its AIIF3 fund, stake acquired 2018 (source: Financial Afrik, 6 Jul 2018, quoting Egis CEO Francis Brangier); SEGAP also holds stakes in airport concessions in Gabon and Republic of Congo. The draft's granular breakdown (Egis ~41.9%, SEGAP 51% incl. AIIM 13.55% / Afripar 12.2% / État de Côte d'Ivoire 10%, private investors ~22%) could not be verified against any source, is internally inconsistent (sums to >100%), and "Afripar" could not be found as an entity at all — all specifics beyond the verified 50/50 SEGAP split have been removed.

AIP referenceDIAP — AIP ASECNA Côte d'Ivoire
Operating hoursH24 — ASECNA-provided ATC (Côte d'Ivoire is an ASECNA member state); specific TWR/APP VHF frequencies could not be independently verified — confirm against current AIP DIAP charts before operational use
Terminals1 (expanded from ~11,000 to ~26,000 m², financing incl. a Proparco loan from 2012; combined international/domestic building with separated processing zones)
Runways (1)
- 03/21 · 3,000 m / 9,843 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS CAT I ILS commonly reported on RWY 21 only (VOR-DME AD referenced); RWY 03 has no ILS — not independently re-verified against a current AIP chart this session
Sole major international gateway for Côte d'Ivoire and base for Air Côte d'Ivoire; single runway (03/21, 3000m) caps capacity, and the only precision approach (ILS, CAT I) is commonly reported on RWY 21, so RWY 03 arrivals rely on visual/non-precision minima. Runway width is reported as 45m by SkyVector (precise, non-round 148ft conversion) but as 50m/164ft in OurAirports' dataset — flagged as an unresolved minor source discrepancy. Airport elevation (21ft/6m) is confirmed by OurAirports' canonical dataset and matches both runway-end elevations (03: 21ft, 21: 11ft), overriding an unrelated Wikipedia infobox figure of 29m that could not be corroborated elsewhere and appears to be a data error. Contact phone/email could not be (airport site is a JS-rendered SPA not fetchable via automated tools) but were not contradicted by any source.

Menzies Aviation
Ground-handling concessionaire at ABJ for scheduled/commercial traffic (successor to NAS Ivoire, folded into the Menzies brand after Menzies' 2023 acquisition of National Aviation Services); confirmed directly on Menzies' own current network page (menziesaviation.com/our-network/abidjan-abj/), which lists 'Ground Services' for Abidjan with Africa-desk contact Cisse Abdoulaye (•••). Ancillary ramp functions (cabin cleaning, airside crew/pax transport) are typically bundled into full-service handling contracts but were not separately itemized for ABJ in any source found — treat as unconfirmed rather than assumed.com 'Assistance en escale' page with a granular five-way service breakdown and an ISAGO cert date could not be verified — that page does not exist at the airport's real domain (aeroport-abidjan.com), which still shows only a stale 2018 news item naming NAS, not Menzies; those specifics have been dropped.

Servair Côte d'Ivoire
Confirmed operator of the terminal's food & beverage points per the airport's own site (aeroport-abidjan.com/fr/services_aeroport_abidjan.php), which names 'Servair Côte d'Ivoire' (linking to servairabidjan.ci) as running the 'Awalé' and 'Akwabar' snack bars in the main hall plus the 'Air Lounge Café' in the boarding zone. Servair's core global business line is in-flight/airline catering (part of the Air France-affiliated Servair group active across West Africa), making it a plausible candidate for ABJ's flight-kitchen catering too, but a dedicated in-flight catering contract at ABJ was not independently confirmed — flagged unconfirmed pending direct verification.

Les agents de sécurité veillent également au respect des normes internationales' (the airport's police station is available to all travelers; security officers ensure compliance with international standards).

Radisson Blu Abidjan Airport
Opened March 2016 in the airport zone with a restaurant, outdoor pool and fitness center, per the airport's Wikipedia article (room count is reported inconsistently between editions — 200+ rooms/suites in the English article vs. 300 chambres in the French one). Proximity/branding suggests plausible airline crew use, but no specific airline crew-accommodation contract was independently confirmed.
