Gateway airport serving Adamawa State in northeastern Nigeria.

Location

Yola, Nigeria

Yola Airport (IATA: YOL, ICAO: DNYO) is a domestic airport located in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State in northeastern Nigeria. It serves as a key air link for the region, connecting it to major Nigerian cities such as Abuja and Lagos.

It plays an important role in regional connectivity given the limited road and rail infrastructure in the area.

Its strategic location near the Cameroon border gives it some relevance beyond purely domestic operations.
