Located at the Felix Houphouet Boigny airport and close to the Port of Abidjan, the hub serves as a connection point between international sea and air logistics flows as well as final consumers.
Aerohub stands apart through the integration of innovative systems designed to shrink the carbon footprint of its business activities. It is equipped with a low energy consumption (LED) lighting system with movement detectors and a storm-water holding reservoir, together with electric handling equipment that in the long term will be powered by solar panels.
