[ACCI-CAVIE] Côte d’Ivoire’s aviation hub strategy has reached a historic milestone. The national airline, Air Côte d’Ivoire, has just secured massive funding of 35 billion FCFA from the West African Development Bank (BOAD). This capital is designated for the construction of a regional aeronautical maintenance center in Abidjan, a structural project aimed at strengthening the country’s technical independence and its leadership in West African skies.
This future maintenance center is not limited to industrial infrastructure. It represents a major step forward for economic sovereignty and the safety of air operations in the region. By bringing high-level technical skills back home and offering maintenance services to regional fleets, Côte d’Ivoire is ensuring a lever for sustainable growth and a significant reduction in its dependence on external service providers.
