Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, located in Kano, the capital city of Kano State in Nigeria, is an important international airport serving the region. Initially established as a Royal Air Force station during the colonial era, the airport has evolved into a vital transportation hub for northern Nigeria. It was named after the renowned politician Aminu Kano.
The airport comprises both an international and a domestic terminal, with the construction of a new domestic terminal completed and commissioned on May 23, 2011. In 2009, the airport facilitated the travel of 323,482 passengers. A significant portion of international flights from the airport caters to the sizable Sudanese community in Kano, as well as facilitating Muslim pilgrimages to Mecca.
Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport holds the distinction of being the oldest airport in Nigeria, with operations commencing in 1936. During its early years, the airport served as an important refueling point for long-haul flights between Europe and Africa. However, as newer aircraft no longer required such refueling stops and the Kano economy declined in the late 20th century, many international airlines ceased their services to the airport.
The airport accommodates both civilian and military flights, with Runway 06/24 primarily utilized for civilian operations. Meanwhile, Runway 05/23 predominantly serves the Nigerian Air Force base situated on the southern side of the airport. During the rehabilitation of the main runway at the beginning of the 21st century, all operations were temporarily shifted to Runway 05/23. The terminal facilities of Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport are situated between these two runways, facilitating efficient passenger movement and airport operations.
