Abidjan Port Bouët Concierge — Through Immigration and Into the Plateau
Abidjan airport concierge is a VIP meet-and-greet service where a Curo greeter meets you at the aircraft door at Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International, walks you through Côte d'Ivoire's immigration and health checks and baggage reclaim, and delivers you to a private chauffeur for the transfer into Plateau or Cocody.
Port Bouët: West Africa's Compact Single-Terminal Hub
Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International (ABJ), known locally as Port Bouët after its district, lies around 15 kilometres south of central Abidjan and operates from a single compact terminal that handles the whole of Côte d'Ivoire's international traffic. Air Côte d'Ivoire is the home carrier and uses ABJ as a regional hub, joined by Air France, Brussels Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Royal Air Maroc and Emirates. As a business and conference gateway for the region, arrivals skew toward evening long-haul banks from Europe and the Gulf.
Immigration, e-Visa and Health Formalities on Arrival
Côte d'Ivoire requires most visitors to arrive with an approved e-visa, applied for online beforehand and finalised at a dedicated biometric counter at Port Bouët where fingerprints and photos are captured. Yellow fever vaccination proof is mandatory and checked on entry. These layered steps — health desk, e-visa enrolment, then passport control — mean an unassisted arrival can be slow when an evening long-haul bank lands together. Curo guides you through each counter in the right order and into the priority lane.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the greeter meet me at Abidjan?
Your Curo greeter waits at the aircraft door or jet bridge at Port Bouët as you disembark, name card ready, not somewhere past the health and immigration desks. They track your flight live, so on an evening long-haul into ABJ they are positioned at the airbridge whether you land on time or late.
How much does Abidjan airport meet and greet cost?
Curo at Abidjan is priced in USD per traveller. Silver is $250 for a personal greeter, immigration and health-desk escort and baggage help. Gold is $380 and adds fast-track lanes, a porter and lounge coordination. Platinum is $510 and adds a private chauffeur into Plateau, Cocody or Marcory.
Do I need an e-visa and yellow fever certificate for Abidjan?
Most visitors need an approved e-visa, applied for online in advance and finalised at a biometric counter at Port Bouët where fingerprints and a photo are taken. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory and checked on entry. Your greeter walks you through the health desk, e-visa enrolment and passport control in the correct order.
Why can arrival at Port Bouët be slow?
Entry stacks several steps — a yellow fever health check, e-visa biometric enrolment, then passport control — and evening long-haul flights from Europe and the Gulf often land in a bank. Unassisted, that combination backs up quickly. Curo's fast-track lane on Gold and Platinum moves you through each counter ahead of the crowd.
Which airlines and terminal does Curo cover at Abidjan?
ABJ runs from a single terminal, so your greeter covers every arrival — Air Côte d'Ivoire, Air France, Brussels Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Royal Air Maroc and Emirates included. With one terminal there is no building to locate; the meet point is always the aircraft door as you step off.
Is Abidjan airport concierge worth it?
For a first-time business arrival into West Africa, yes. The health desk, biometric e-visa enrolment and passport control are unfamiliar and slow when an evening bank lands together. Curo handles the sequence, lifts you into the priority lane, and hands you to a chauffeur for the run into Plateau rather than a queue at the rank.
Can Curo arrange a chauffeur into Plateau or Cocody?
Yes. Platinum includes a private chauffeur waiting for the roughly 15-kilometre transfer into the Plateau business district, Cocody's residential quarters or Marcory. Silver and Gold include an escort to your pre-arranged car or the official taxi rank outside the terminal. Each transfer is timed against your live landing, not the schedule.
What if my flight to Abidjan is delayed?
Curo monitors your flight in real time and adjusts automatically. There is no rebooking, no cancellation and no delay surcharge. Your greeter waits for your aircraft to land at Port Bouët rather than for the scheduled time, which matters on evening long-haul routes where connections and weather can push arrivals back.
