The Federal Government has declared the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport, Minna, Niger State, as the alternative airport to the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport.
Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, announced the latest development at the inaugural flight commencement of Overland Airways from Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport in Minna on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
Keyamo stated that the airport has a face, runway, ambience, and location similar to any other international airport worldwide.
He said, “The runway is an international runway; a 747 and a tripple 7 can use this runway. Why over the years this has been underutilised is still a puzzle.
“Our eyes are on this airport. By the powers conferred in me, I declare Minna airport as the alternative to Abuja Airport. NCA, FAAN, take note.”
