Minna Airport (ICAO: DNMN, IATA: MXJ) serves Minna, the capital of Niger State in Nigeria, from a site some 10 kilometres northwest of the city. It is a Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) facility built around a single very long hard-surfaced runway with an ILS, and in 2024 it was renamed in honour of the incumbent president.
Minna Airport lies close to Minna, the capital of Niger State, and is operated by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). It was renamed after Nigeria's incumbent President Bola Tinubu by the state government in 2024. For a visiting simulator pilot the field is notable chiefly for its single but exceptionally long runway, equipped with an ILS, which gives it capacity well beyond that implied by its relatively modest level of scheduled traffic.
The airport sits roughly 10 kilometres northwest of Minna town, the capital of Niger State, Nigeria, at coordinates 9.6522N, 6.4622E and an elevation of 873 feet above mean sea level.
Minna has one physical runway, 05/23, a hard-surfaced strip lit for night operations and measuring approximately 11,165 feet in length. An instrument landing system serves runway 05.
Air traffic control is provided on Minna Tower, 118.3 MHz. An ILS is available for approaches to runway 05.
Minna Airport was established as the airport serving Minna, the capital of Niger State, and has long been operated by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria. In 2024 the Niger State government renamed the airport after the incumbent President Bola Tinubu, reflecting its growing profile within the state's infrastructure plans.
The airport is operated by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and, according to Wikipedia, is served by Overland Airways with flights to Abuja.
