Marcopolis.net Video Interview with Gilles Darriau, CEO of Aeria (Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport), also available here http://marcopolis.net/aeria-assets-and-competitive-advantages-of-abidjan-airport-2407.htm
"I really believe that our airport has one of the best locations in the region. Dakar for example is very western and Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire are very southern airports. We are at the centre of Western Central Africa. We have the advantage of being a hub with Air Côte d'Ivoire, which flies to about twenty African towns and cities. They fly to Dakar, Monrovia, Accra, Brazzaville, and many others from Abidjan. Côte d'Ivoire is the most important economic country in this area aside from Nigeria, which is a very big country. Many American companies have subsidiaries here in Abidjan. It is a very good market for an American airline. We estimate that we are able to traffic about 40 thousand to 50 thousand passengers directly to the United States. Currently, these passengers have to connect through Paris, Casablanca or even via Dubai to fly to North America. Thus, I would say to American companies that we are waiting for them to come here and to fly from our hub", says Gilles Darriau.
