Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) is a significant international airport located in Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria, serving as the primary airport for the entire state. The airport holds historical significance as it was originally constructed during World War II. It is named after Murtala Muhammed (1938–1976), the fourth military ruler of Nigeria.
The airport’s roots can be traced back to the establishment of the West African Airways Corporation in 1947, which had its main base at Ikeja. Initially, De Havilland Doves were utilized for both domestic and West African routes operated by the corporation.
Originally known as Lagos International Airport, the name was changed in the mid-1970s during the construction of a new international terminal. The decision was made to honor Murtala Muhammed, a former Nigerian military head of state. The design of the new terminal took inspiration from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and was officially inaugurated on March 15, 1979. Murtala Muhammed International Airport serves as the main operational hub for Air Peace, Nigeria’s largest airline, as well as several other Nigerian carriers.
Recognizing the need for further expansion and modernization, the Federal Government of Nigeria approved a loan on September 6, 2012, for the construction of five new international terminals, including a passenger terminal at Murtala Muhammed International Airport. This initiative aimed to enhance the airport’s capacity and facilities. Subsequently, on March 22, 2022, the new international terminal was officially commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari. With the ability to process 14 million passengers annually, this state-of-the-art terminal signifies a significant milestone in the Murtala Muhammed International Airport‘s development and capacity enhancement efforts.
