Airport Overview
MAKIA is one of the country’s oldest international airports. It is a major transit point for the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajji), and the main connection point for Northern Nigeria air travellers. The remodelled Makia was commissioned on March 15, 2015. The airport serves civilian and military flights. The terminal facilities lie between the two runways. The airport has an international and a domestic terminal, and a custom bonded cargo warehouse owned by Skyway Aviation Handling Company Plc (SAHCO). The airport handles over 400,000 passengers yearly and cargo flights operations.
The airport experiences some congestion as a result of economic growth and the increase in population. Air bridge services are not available in Kano station as only passenger steps are used. The current airport/terminal has been upgraded.
