Cannot be 747. I've flown into/out of Cotonou, the runway is nowhere near long enough for a 747. When landing, the AF Airbus?? I was on barely braked in time to avoid going off the end of the runway into the drink (my closest brush with a carrier-style landing (I hope)). Benin has a lot of Lebanese expatriates, they fled the ME to West Africa in the '80's, and now they are the 'merchant class' in those countries - i.e. they own/run most of the (non-government) business.
