Regional gateway serving Nigeria's Niger State capital.

Location

Minna, Nigeria

Minna Airport (IATA: MXJ, ICAO: DNMN) is a domestic airport serving Minna, the capital city of Niger State in north-central Nigeria. It connects the state to other major Nigerian cities and supports both commercial and general aviation traffic. The airport is operated under the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), which manages most of Nigeria's commercial airports. It handles relatively modest passenger volumes compared to Nigeria's major hubs such as Lagos and Abuja, reflecting its regional role. Given Minna's proximity to Abuja (approximately 145 km away), many travelers also opt for road transport to the national capital, which limits the airport's overall traffic demand.

The airport has a single passenger terminal handling domestic arrivals and departures.
