Small island gateway serving Anjouan in the Comoros archipelago.
Location
Ouani, Comoros
Ouani Airport is a small regional airport located on the island of Anjouan, one of the three main islands of the Union of the Comoros in the Indian Ocean. Identified by IATA code AJN and ICAO code FMCV, it serves as the primary air access point for Anjouan, connecting the island to the capital Moroni on Grande Comore and to international destinations.
The airport operates with limited infrastructure typical of small island airports in developing nations. It handles a modest volume of passengers, primarily traveling between the Comorian islands, and sees regional traffic from neighboring countries such as Madagascar and Mayotte.
Given its remote island setting, Ouani Airport plays a vital role in connecting Anjouan's population to medical services, commerce, and the wider region, as sea travel between the islands can be lengthy and hazardous.
