General Tunde Idiagbon International Airport — Ilorin/Ogbomosho, Nigeria

ILR serves Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State in Nigeria's Middle Belt, and carries the name of a former military head of state who was born in the city. Beyond scheduled passenger service linking Ilorin to Lagos, Abuja, and other Nigerian cities, the airport has long played a secondary but important role as a diversion field, receiving flights redirected from busier Lagos or Abuja airports during periods of poor visibility, fog, or harmattan dust haze that regularly disrupt operations elsewhere in the country. Its relatively long runway and generally favorable weather conditions have made it a reliable backup within Nigeria's domestic aviation network. The surrounding city functions as a commercial and educational center for the region, home to a major university, and the airport supports that role by handling both business travelers and returning residents connecting through Nigeria's busier coastal hubs.
