Cadjehoun Airport

Cardinal Bernadin Gantin International Airport (formerly known as Cotonou Cadjehoun Airport) (IATA: COO, ICAO: DBBB) is an airport in the Cadjehoun neighborhood of Cotonou, the largest city in Benin, in West Africa.

The airport was renamed after cardinal Bernardin Gantin in 2021.

[3] In 1974, it was decided to move the operations of the Cotonou international airport to a new facility in Glo-Djigbé.

Lack of funding quickly stopped the project.

The plans were revived in 2011, and President Yayi Boni presided at a ceremonial start to the construction of the new airport, using South African funding.
