Minna Airport — Minna, Nigeria

Minna Airport, coded MXJ, serves Minna, the capital of Niger State in central Nigeria. The airport supports domestic flights connecting the city to Abuja, Lagos, and other Nigerian hubs, serving both commercial travelers and government officials given Minna's administrative status. MXJ has periodically been discussed as a potential site for aviation training academies and cargo development given its proximity to Abuja's congested airspace. The airport features a paved runway capable of handling narrow-body jets, though passenger traffic remains modest compared to Nigeria's larger airports. Minna's strategic central location within Nigeria has led to occasional proposals to expand MXJ's role in domestic cargo logistics and as an alternate airport serving the greater Abuja metropolitan region.
