Airport Overview
Maiduguri Airport was established in 1950. It was closed for some time due to security threats. It is the present Nigerian Air Force Headquarters, Borno State.
Although recognized as an international airport, all but a handful of annual flight volumes are domestic. The only contributor to international flight volume is for Hajj (annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca), therefore there are no permanent customs or immigration services. Dates for Hajj change because it is based on a lunar calendar.
It is the hub for all humanitarian air traffic in Nigeria.
The Nigerian military co-manages this airport.
Significant security issues exist.
