Margaret Ekpo International Airport — Calabar, Nigeria

Margaret Ekpo International Airport honors one of Nigeria's pioneering female politicians and women's rights campaigners while serving Calabar, the historic Cross River State capital once central to the transatlantic slave trade and now known for its December carnival celebrations and rainforest tourism, all under the CBQ designation. Scheduled service connects Calabar primarily to Lagos, Abuja, and other Nigerian cities, with the international designation in its name reflecting aspirations and occasional charter connections more than dense scheduled long-haul traffic. Travelers bound for Cross River National Park's rainforest and gorilla sanctuaries, or for a well-known nearby resort and business complex, typically pass through the terminal. The city's blend of colonial-era architecture, museums documenting Nigeria's slave-trade history, and a growing tourism sector has pushed periodic investment into expanding the airport's capacity and reach.
