Airport Overview
The airport consists of an international and a domestic terminal. Both terminals share the same runway. Runway refurbishment was completed in 2017.
It is the second busiest airport in Nigeria. It has presently terminal A, B, C and D for international and domestic operations. Recently, terminal E has been opened for international operations but not completed.
It also has the presidential wing with a taxiway linking the runway, presidential chalet, presidential lounge, presidential hangar, general aviation terminal for VIPs, cargo/pilgrim’s terminal, cargo warehouse and hangars. The apron expansion work is ongoing and as such poses constraints to airlines as regards aircraft parking for ramp activities.
There are no other major concerns or issues that commonly affect operators and customers.

The majority of incoming shipments are diplomatic and aid cargo such as pharmaceuticals donated by countries and humanitarian groups and construction materials mostly by Julius Berger. The current capacity is very small compared with Lagos airport.
A major constraint is limited covered storage for large volume cargos. Outdoor storage requires covers/tarpaulins in rainy season.
