Abidjan soon to be served by the Air France A380
During the 2014-2015 winter season (26 October 2014 - 28 March 2015), Air France will serve Abidjan by Airbus A380 with 3 weekly frequencies, and the other flights will be operated by Boeing 777-300 (4 weekly frequencies). This flight will be operated during the daytime on the way there and at night on the way back.
After operating a special flight by A380 on 28 January 2014 for the International Forum for Investments in Côte d’Ivoire, Air France confirms its ambition to make Abidjan the second destination on the African continent to be served by its superjumbo after Johannesburg and the first in French-speaking Africa.
With a strong level of growth, the Côte d’Ivoire aims to become the main hub and gateway to West Africa, a market representing over 300 million inhabitants.

From 26 October 2014 to 28 March 2015, flights on Monday, Friday and Sunday will be operated by A380 and on other days by Boeing 777-300.
