The Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport in Minna has been designated as the alternative airport to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.

Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo declared this at the inaugural flight commencement of Overland Airways from Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport in Minna.

Keyamo said the airport has the face, runway, ambience, and location that fits any other international airport across the world.

“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,” he stated.
