Abuja’s primary gateway with domestic and international connections, modern terminals and growing capacity. Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (IATA: ABV) serves Nigeria’s federal capital, Abuja, and opened in 2002 with separate domestic and international terminals that share a single runway about 20 km west of the city centre; a new international terminal was commissioned in December 2018 and plans for a second runway are underway, and as the nation’s second-busiest airport it handles roughly three million passengers annually, connecting Abuja to major Nigerian cities and regional or intercontinental hubs via airlines such as Air Peace, Ibom Air, Ethiopian Airlines and Lufthansa, with full passenger amenities, lounges, cargo operations and VIP/government handling that make it a pivotal gateway to the FCT.
