Regional role cue
LFW is the international airport serving Lomé, Togo's coastal capital.
Accepted from the airport reference trail as a role-specific cue for LFW; not treated as a live service guarantee.
Location cue
The airport's primary planning use case is the Lomé capital corridor rather than an inland regional city market.
Used to make the airport page location-specific beyond the code, coordinate, and timezone record.

A new terminal opened in early 2016 with published capacity for up to 2 million passengers annually.
Retained because history, naming, or opening context helps distinguish this airport from same-shaped airport pages.

Lomé–Tokoin International Airport is a near sea-level field at 72 ft (22 m), positioned at 6.1656° N, 1.2545° E in the Northern deep tropics. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 9,847 ft / 3,001 m. The airport clock uses Africa/Lome (GMT, UTC+00:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Lomé is the closest retained city-time anchor at 5.5 km. ACC Accra is the closest retained airport alternative at 169 km.
LFW 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.
LFW-ACC Accra: 169 km, about 1h 3m, +0h. LFW-LOS Lagos: 233 km, about 1h 8m, +1h. LFW-KMS Kumasi: 320 km, about 1h 14m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.
OurAirports ident DXXX backs the stable code, coordinate, elevation, and timezone record. aeroportdelome.com is attached as the official airport website. en.wikipedia.org is used only as supporting reference context. Snapshot date: 2026-05-25.

OurAirports classifies LFW as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Lomé.
LFW (DXXX) is a near sea-level field at 72 ft (22 m) in the deep tropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
LFW also has a clear airline-network role: the source summary describes it as togo capital-gateway airport with a 2016 terminal and single-runway source footprint..
LFW's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 9,847 ft / 3,001 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
A specific operator or management record for LFW is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at aeroportdelome.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.
LFW uses Africa/Lome (GMT, UTC+00:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Lomé–Tokoin International Airport is about 5.5 km from central Lomé; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
ACC Accra is the closest retained alternate at 169 km, time difference +0h.
aeroportdelome.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place LFW inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
LFW ranks #1 in the curated Togo airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 1 airport.
LFW has no other retained airport in the same IANA zone cohort, making Africa/Lome a more distinctive signal for this page.

Lomé is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Lomé–Tokoin International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from LFW, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.

Lomé–Tokoin International Airport does not have a long carrier list in the current source trail, so this page emphasizes the durable pieces travelers can safely use here: local time, field identifiers, nearby airports, and timezone differences.
The route timing references show the first cross-timezone planning burden after this airport: Accra (ACC), Lagos (LOS), Kumasi (KMS). Treat them as distance and clock cues, then verify flight availability with the carrier.
