Lomé–Tokoin International Airport
Asky Airlines, a pan-African carrier launched in the late 2000s with backing from Ethiopian Airlines and regional development interests, built much of its West and Central African route network from a base at LFW, Togo's only major international airport, sitting at the edge of Lomé near the Ghanaian border and the Gulf of Guinea coastline. The compact terminal handles a mix of business travelers, government officials, and diaspora visitors connecting Togo to Paris, Addis Ababa, and dozens of other African capitals. Lomé developed as a colonial-era trading post under German and later French administration, and the airport has long served as the country's principal link to the wider world given Togo's modest size and limited coastline. Expansion projects over the years have aimed to modernize the passenger terminal and improve cargo handling for the free-trade zones clustered near the port.
