The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport ( IATA: ABV, ICAO: DNAA ) is the airport in the Nigerian capital of Abuja and also the second - handed traffic of the country. It is named after Nigeria's first president Nnamdi Azikiwe.

The airport has two terminals - one for international and one for domestic flights.

On 13 November 2006 the Abuja Gateway Consortium signed a contract for the management and development of the airport with a term of 25 years. The contract covers 101 million U.S. $ for services as well as a planned investment of 371 million U.S. $.

In April 2009 it was announced that the Nigerian federal government, including with German help, the international part of the airport wants to expand. An additional runway and a new terminal to be built for about 20 million euros. The existing international terminal would then be used for domestic flights. It is envisaged to develop Abuja at one of the leading aviation hubs in Africa.

The contract with the Nigerian Bilfinger Berger subsidiary Julius Berger Nigeria PLC ( JBN ) to build a second airstrip was put on hold in March 2010 after allegations of corruption were raised. Thus JBN should converted 315 million euros for the construction and planning of 4.4 km of slopes obtained ( about 70 million euros per km). All airports would be a third of that amount elsewhere including terminal built in Africa.
