Ouagadougou Thomas Sankara International Airport (IATA: OUA, ICAO: DFFD) is the main international airport serving Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso. It functions as the country's principal air hub, connecting Burkina Faso to destinations across West Africa, Europe, and beyond. The airport was renamed in honor of Thomas Sankara, the revolutionary former president of Burkina Faso, reflecting the country's political identity. A significant expansion and modernization project has been undertaken to increase capacity and improve passenger facilities to meet growing regional demand. Due to ongoing security challenges in the Sahel region, several international carriers have periodically suspended or reduced operations to and from Ouagadougou, affecting connectivity. Despite this, the airport remains the critical entry point for humanitarian, governmental, and commercial traffic in Burkina Faso.
