Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport is a prominent international airport situated in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. It serves as the primary airport for the country’s capital city and is named after Nnamdi Azikiwe, who served as Nigeria’s first President from 1904 to 1996. Positioned about 20 kilometers (12 miles) west of Abuja, this airport accommodates both international and domestic flights through its single runway, which is shared by an international terminal and a domestic terminal.
To enhance Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport‘s capabilities, the new terminal was constructed in 2000 by Julius Berger in close proximity to the existing terminal. This modern terminal, which commenced operations in 2002, primarily caters to international flights. Subsequently, the pre-existing terminal now exclusively handles domestic flights.
Recognizing the need for urgent repairs to the airport’s runway, the Nigerian Government awarded a contract to Julius Berger in 2017 for its emergency rehabilitation. Originally designed to have a lifespan of 20 years, the runway had been in use for almost 40 years at the time of the contract.
In addition to its commercial operations, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport operates a dedicated private jet wing that caters to businesses, diplomats, and politicians in the city. To further enhance private jet operations, the Ministry of Transportation announced plans in 2016 for a new terminal, encompassing the construction of a new protocol Lounge and the rehabilitation of the airport’s fire station. These enhancements aim to better serve non-scheduled flights and meet the needs of private jet travelers.
