Gateway to the Comoros archipelago in the Indian Ocean.
Opened
1975
Location
Moroni, Comoros
Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport is the main international gateway serving Moroni, the capital of the Union of the Comoros, located on the island of Grande Comore (Ngazidja). Named after Prince Said Ibrahim, a historical Comorian political figure, it is the busiest and most significant airport in the Comoros archipelago.
The airport handles a modest volume of international traffic, primarily connecting the Comoros to regional hubs in East Africa, the Middle East, and the French island of Mayotte. It serves as a critical link for a nation composed entirely of islands with limited maritime alternatives for long-distance travel.
Infrastructure at the airport is relatively limited compared to larger regional facilities, but it supports jet aircraft operations and handles both passenger and cargo services. Ongoing development efforts have aimed at improving facilities to support the country's tourism and trade ambitions.
Terminals
The airport operates with a single passenger terminal handling both international and domestic arrivals and departures.

Ground transport to Moroni city center is primarily via taxis and private vehicles, as no formal public bus or rail link exists between the airport and the capital.

Major carriers serving HAH include Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Air Arabia, and regional carrier Comores Aviation International.
