Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport ABVDNAA

Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) is Abuja’s main airport and FAAN describes it as Nigeria’s second-busiest airport. For frequent flyers, think of it as a capital-city domestic and regional hub rather than a global alliance hub: Nigerian carriers such as Air Peace, Arik Air and Overland Airways have base/hub roles here, while international service is mainly point-to-point or alliance-fed by carriers such as British Airways, Ethiopian, Turkish, EgyptAir, Lufthansa and Air France. The airport sits about 20 km west/southwest of central Abuja and has separate domestic and international terminals sharing one runway. It is practical for Nigeria connections and West Africa/Europe/Middle East links, but self-transfers need buffer because domestic-international moves can mean going landside, collecting bags, changing terminal area, and clearing security/immigration again.
