About
Modibo Keita International Airport (IATA: BKO), located about 15 kilometers south of Bamako, is Mali’s primary international gateway. Formerly known as Bamako–Sénou International Airport, it was renamed in 2013 to honor Mali’s first president, Modibo Keita. The airport features modern facilities, including two terminals—one for domestic flights and one for international travel—with amenities such as restaurants, shops, and VIP lounges. It serves major airlines like Air France, Ethiopian Airlines, and Royal Air Maroc, connecting Mali to destinations across Africa and Europe. With its strategic location and upgraded infrastructure, the airport plays a vital role in Mali’s transportation network.
