    Also known as Sadiq Abubakar III International Airport, the airport is named after the 17th Sultan of Sokoto who reigned from 1938 to 1988. Commissioned in 1938, some parts of it got destroyed by a rainstorm a year after, which took a few years to reconstruct. One of the major domestic airports in Nigeria, it features the necessary facilities required as laid down by the aviation authority. In the few times it defaulted to keep to international standards, it has promptly been shut down till the issue gets rectified to ensure customers are guaranteed a safe flying experience.

    Writer's Review

    As the major link for the primarily Muslim North-Western states, it serves Muslim pilgrims and hosts airlines that operate internationally. It is relatively well maintained too.
