Zaria Airport — Zaria, Nigeria

Zaria Airport, given the IATA code ZAR, serves the historic city of Zaria in Kaduna State, northern Nigeria. Once a prominent center of Hausa culture and Islamic scholarship, Zaria remains an important educational hub, home to Ahmadu Bello University, one of Nigeria's largest institutions. The airport has historically provided limited domestic air service, though operations have fluctuated over the years due to Nigeria's broader aviation infrastructure challenges. ZAR's role has traditionally centered on connecting Zaria to Kaduna and Lagos for administrative, educational, and commercial travel, though many travelers today rely more heavily on nearby Kaduna Airport for regular scheduled flights.
