Replacement
[edit]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.[17] Construction on the new facility appears to have stalled again.[18]
Meanwhile, improvements to the Cotonou airport were initiated.[19][20]
