Ouagadougou Airport

Ouagadougou Airport (DFFD) is a medium airport in Ouagadougou, KAD, Burkina Faso. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code DFFD or IATA code OUA. It sits in Africa.

Ouagadougou Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Ouagadougou Airport lies at 1,037 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Africa/Ouagadougou. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for DFFD updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.
