Calabar

Calabar

Margaret Ekpo International Airport is the biggest airport that services the city of Calabar in Nigeria. The airport is based within the centre of the city and is only a short walk from the nearest hotels and restaurants offered by the Cross River State’s capital.


The airport isn’t especially busy in comparison to most international airports, but it serves around 200,000 passengers every year whilst supporting flights to and from Lagos. Calabar, the home of CBQ, is often described as the tourism capital of Nigeria thanks to its environmentalist initiatives over the past 20 years. Thanks to its location, CBQ is the best way to quickly get to Calabar, as it’s just a short walk from the city.


Margaret Ekpo International is named after Chief Margaret Ekpo, a Nigerian politician who revolutionised politics in the country, and across Africa, by rallying support for women’s rights and ethnic solidarity.
