Regional gateway serving Nigeria's Niger State capital.
Location
Minna, Nigeria
Minna Airport (IATA: MXJ, ICAO: DNMN) is a domestic airport serving Minna, the capital city of Niger State in north-central Nigeria. It connects the state to other major Nigerian cities and supports both commercial and general aviation traffic.

Given Minna's proximity to Abuja (approximately 145 km away), many travelers also opt for road transport to the national capital, which limits the airport's overall traffic demand.
