Runways (1)
- 02/20 · 2,900 m / 9,514 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT II (RWY 02 only)
Main international gateway for the Union of the Comoros, funneling essentially all scheduled international traffic to Grande Comore. Single RWY 02/20; ILS CAT II serves RWY 02 only, no ILS on the 20 approach. Tower and customs run H15 (0300-1800 UTC), not H24, so ad hoc arrivals outside that window need PPR and standby customs coordination. AB Aviation, once headquartered here, lost its AOC in March 2022 after a fatal crash and has not resumed operations - do not carry it as an active carrier. Scheduled service is carried by Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, Air Austral, Air Tanzania, Ewa Air and Precision Air, plus seasonal Turkish Airlines; single-engine aircraft remain banned in Comoros airspace since the 2022 accident. The ~220,000 pax figure is a 2024 estimate and should be treated as provisional pending an updated primary count from ADC. Previously listed contact phone/email were dropped after fact-check: the email domain resolves to an unrelated placeholder site with no connection to the airport, and the phone number could not be independently verified, so both are nulled pending a confirmed primary source.

Ground handling
Available
Com'Air Assistance
National ground-handling company operating under Ministry of Transport oversight; sole ramp/passenger handler at HAH, providing marshalling and baggage/cargo loading-unloading for all scheduled carriers. Confirmed via the Logistics Cluster Digital Logistics Capacity Assessment (DLCA) for Comoros and AC-U-KWIK's FBO/handler listing for FMCH. Separately, in May 2025 the airport itself (Aimpsi) was placed under a 30-year concession to the Emirati firm Terminals Holding Group (operating as Terminal Moroni Airport Management), replacing prior state operator ADC (Aeroports Des Comores) for airport management; whether Com'Air Assistance's own handling contract changed under that concession is not confirmed by public sources.

Aircraft cleaning
Unconfirmed
Com'Air Assistance
Aircraft interior/cabin cleaning and lavatory-water servicing is presumed to be bundled into Com'Air Assistance's ramp handling contract, as is typical at single-handler stations of this size; no dedicated aircraft-cleaning company was found for HAH.

Ground support equipment
Unconfirmed
Com'Air Assistance
As the sole ramp handler, Com'Air Assistance presumably owns/operates the ground support equipment (tugs, belt loaders, GPU/ASU) used for turnarounds at HAH; no separate third-party GSE company is documented at this airport, so this is unconfirmed.

Cargo handling
Available
Com'Air Assistance
Operates the small cargo terminal/warehouse next to the international terminal under customs supervision (Logistics Cluster DLCA). HAH is not served by scheduled cargo flights - occasional freighter service (roughly monthly, e.g. via Nairobi or Dar es Salaam) supplements belly-hold freight - and air-freight bookings on HAH passenger flights are made through Com'Air Assistance.

Aviation security
Available · 2 providers
Gendarmerie Nationale des Comores (airport security detachment)
Per the Logistics Cluster DLCA for Comoros, Gendarmerie personnel provide continuous surveillance of the airside/security zones and aircraft at HAH, with the airport entrance controlled by a Comorian armed-forces battalion. Note: an earlier draft named a specific 'Brigade de la Gendarmerie du Transport Aerien (BGTA)' sub-unit with direct-dial numbers, but that unit name is documented only for France and Gabon - no source ties it to Comoros, and the cited phone numbers could not be verified anywhere, so both have been removed pending confirmation.

Police de l'Air et des Frontieres (PAF)
Airport border-police service (PAF) responsible for travel-document control and terminal security at HAH; confirmed as active specifically at the Aeroport International Prince Said Ibrahim (Aimpsi) by Comorian press coverage (e.g. interceptions of trafficking suspects at the airport) and referenced by the Logistics Cluster DLCA as managing terminal security alongside the Gendarmerie. Note: an earlier draft wrapped this real service under an invented parent name ('Service Surete et Securite Aeroportuaire') with two phone numbers that returned no corroboration anywhere; the wrapper name and numbers have been removed.

ASECNA (Agence pour la Securite de la Navigation Aerienne en Afrique et a Madagascar)
Regional air-navigation-services agency providing air traffic control, aeronautical information (AIS/NOTAM) and meteorological briefing for HAH, plus installation/maintenance of navigation safety equipment (Logistics Cluster DLCA). Comoros formally joined ASECNA in September 2004, confirmed by multiple Comorian press sources; ASECNA works alongside the national authority ANACM (Agence Nationale de l'Aviation Civile et de la Meteorologie), which is also the point of contact for the Comoros civil aviation/meteorology directorate.

Hotel & travel
Unconfirmed
Golden Tulip Grande Comore Moroni Resort & Spa
4-star international-branded resort roughly 15 minutes' drive from HAH, the closest higher-tier hotel to the airport; multiple hotel-booking listings confirm it operates its own airport shuttle service. A plausible layover property for airlines serving Moroni (Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, Air Austral, seasonal Turkish Airlines), but no publicly documented airline crew-accommodation contract was found, so this is listed as unconfirmed rather than a verified contracted crew hotel.
