2.2 Nigeria Aviation
Key airport information may also be found at: http://worldaerodata.com/
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is the regulatory body for aviation in Nigeria. Under the Civil Aviation Act 2006 the authority is empowered to regulate Aviation Safety and also to carry out oversight functions of Airports, Airspace, Meteorological Services, etc. as well as economic regulations of the industry.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) is a service organization statutorily charged to manage all Commercial Airports in Nigeria and provide services to both passenger and cargo airlines.
The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) transport infrastructure programme emphasises aviation development, calling on the government to establish fast-track completion of new airport cargo and passenger handling terminals to boost total annual capacity from 208,424 tonnes of cargo and 15m passengers, to hit 276,848 tonnes and 45m air passengers by 2020.
The government is currently undertaking several major airport projects to meet its ERGP targets, including building new airport terminals at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Kano, Enugu and Port Harcourt, as well as a planned new airport in Lekki, Lagos. China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) will construct the four new terminals under a N153bn ($494.6m) agreement signed with the federal government in July 2014.
There are numerous national and international carriers operating in Nigeria. Overall national capacity is adequate.
Nigeria has one of the world’s highest number of private aircraft (jets), both local and foreign registered. There is a significant commercial helicopter fleet based in the south of the country supporting the oil and gas sector.
The most significant constraint is security, in the northeastern region of the country. Aircraft operating out of Maiduguri airport will require war insurance.
Some airports have international in their title though the availability of international flights should be checked. Apart from airports, Nigeria also has a number of scattered runways and airfields located throughout the whole country. The majority of them are owned by Nigeria military forces and some oil enterprises. In general, Nigeria has 26 airports, 5 among them international.

2.2.1 Nigeria Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja
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.

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.
