Source-specific airport notes
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.
Name or history cue
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.

The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 9,847 ft / 3,001 m.

City and airport alternatives
Lomé is the closest retained city-time anchor at 5.5 km. ACC Accra is the closest retained airport alternative at 169 km.
Country airport peers
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.

Decision matrix for LFW
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.
When the clock matters
LFW uses Africa/Lome (GMT, UTC+00:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Lomé–Tokoin International Airport is about 5.5 km from central Lomé; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
ACC Accra is the closest retained alternate at 169 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
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.

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Lomé is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
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.
Nearby city time anchors
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.

Airlines and Network Role
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.
