Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport is a near sea-level field at 21 ft (6 m), positioned at 5.2614° N, 3.9263° W in the Northern deep tropics. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 9,843 ft / 3,000 m. The airport clock uses Africa/Abidjan (GMT, UTC+00:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Koumassi is the closest retained city-time anchor at 6.1 km. KMS Kumasi is the closest retained airport alternative at 305 km.
ABJ has no same-country peer airports retained in the current airport set, so the useful comparison points are its code, coordinates, timezone, and route references.

These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at abidjan-aeroport.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
ABJ uses Africa/Abidjan (GMT, UTC+00:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
