Bayelsa State's gateway serving the Niger Delta region.

Location

Yenagoa, Nigeria

Bayelsa International Airport (ICAO: DNBY) is a civil airport located in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State in southern Nigeria. The airport serves the Niger Delta region, an area of significant oil and gas industry activity, and provides air connectivity for a state that is otherwise challenging to access by road due to its riverine terrain. The airport has undergone development and upgrade efforts by the Bayelsa State Government with ambitions to achieve full international status, including runway and terminal improvements. Despite its international designation, scheduled commercial operations have been limited and inconsistent over the years. The facility is managed under Nigerian civil aviation regulatory oversight and is intended to reduce the dependency of Bayelsa residents on Port Harcourt International Airport in neighboring Rivers State for air travel.

Terminals

The airport has a single passenger terminal building designed to handle both domestic and potential international traffic.
