About Port Harcourt International Airport
Port Harcourt International Airport is the main international airport serving Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, and the surrounding oil-rich Niger Delta region. It is located in Omagwa, a suburb of Port Harcourt, and functions as an important gateway for business and domestic travel in southern Nigeria.
The airport operates two passenger terminals, with a newer international terminal commissioned in October 2018 alongside an older terminal used mainly for domestic flights. It supports direct international connections as well as domestic routes linking Port Harcourt with other major Nigerian cities.
