Katsina Airport, also called Umaru Musa Yar'adua Airport, serves Katsina city in Katsina state. Commercial operations began at the airport on 22nd December 1991, after it was commissioned by the Umaru Musa Yar'adua led government. In a bid to honour the former president after his unforeseen passing away, the Katsina Airport was renamed after him. However, because of the difficulty of outsiders to pronounce the name, the airport is more popular by its former name.

In recent years, residents have reported that there has been no sign of commercial aviation activities at the airport. However, the airport is in a good state and private flights land at the airport from time to time.
