Ibadan Airport (IBA/DNIB) is a domestic airport in the Alakia area of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, roughly 10-15 km east/northeast of the city centre. It is one of Nigeria's older airport sites and today handles mainly domestic passenger flights with a single terminal and runway. Its compact size and proximity to the Ibadan-Ife Expressway make it a convenient gateway to Oyo State, though scheduled services are limited and can change.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm their flight status before leaving for the airport and arrive at least 90 minutes early-Ibadan's terminal is small, but check-in and security can still move slowly when a flight is full.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is in Alakia, near the Ibadan-Ife Expressway, so taxis and ride-hailing apps are the most practical way to reach the city centre. Pre-arrange a pickup or agree on the fare before departing, as metered taxis are not standard. Allow extra time during morning and evening rush hours, especially around Iwo Road and major city gates.
