Yamoussoukro International Airport serves Yamoussoukro, the official political capital of Côte d'Ivoire, located in the central part of the country. Despite the city's status as the national capital, the airport handles relatively limited commercial traffic, with the country's primary aviation hub remaining Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan. The airport has a single runway and basic passenger facilities suited to a regional operation. It has historically served as an alternate airport for the country and sees occasional charter and domestic flights. Expansion and development efforts have been discussed over the years given Yamoussoukro's political significance, but traffic volumes remain modest compared to Abidjan.
