Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport

Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport

Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport is located 20 km west of Abuja, the capital city of

Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory. The airport is named after the first President of

Nigeria, Nnamdi Azikiwe, and has both a domestic and an international terminal that

both share one runway.

 

Due to the heavy air traffic on the runway, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria

has announced that its plans to build a second runway are in the advanced stages.


The airport was built in 2000 but didn't begin operations until 2002. It is a hub for

Air Peace, Arik Air, Ibom Air and Overland Airways, and approximately 3 million

passengers pass through every year.

 

Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport often plays host to a number of important government

officials and visiting dignitaries as well as a huge number of Nigerian citizens flying

to the federal capital for leisure or business.
