Gateway International Airport Launches Abuja, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Jos and Kano Flight Operations
The Gateway International Airport in Ogun State has commenced scheduled commercial flight operations, opening new air routes linking Abuja, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Jos, and Kano.
The development marks a major milestone in the aviation and transportation sector as the airport begins full passenger services following its approval for commercial operations by the relevant aviation authorities.
The airport, located in Ogun State, is designed as a major aviation hub to boost connectivity, ease travel across Nigeria, and strengthen economic activities through improved movement of people and goods.
With the commencement of flight operations, passengers can now access direct connections from the state to key cities across the country, reducing travel time and improving convenience for business and leisure travelers.
The launch also signals the growing expansion of domestic air travel routes in Nigeria, as more airports and carriers continue to widen their networks in response to increasing demand for air transport.
Officials say the new routes are expected to stimulate economic growth, enhance tourism potential, and create new opportunities for trade and investment across the connected cities.
The Gateway International Airport is projected to play a strategic role in positioning Ogun State as a key aviation and logistics hub in Nigeria’s evolving transport landscape.
