Murtala Muhammed International<br />
Originally known as Lagos International<br />
Airport, it was renamed in the mid 1970s,<br />
during construction of the new international<br />
terminal, after a former Nigerian<br />
military head of state Murtala<br />
Muhammed. The international terminal<br />
was modelled after Amsterdam Airport<br />
Schiphol. The new terminal opened officially<br />
on 15 March 1979. It is the main<br />
base for Nigeria’s flag carrier airlines,<br />
Aero and Arik Air.<br />
Murtala Muhammed International Airport<br />
consists of an international and a<br />
domestic terminal, located about one<br />
kilometre from each other. Both terminals<br />
share the same runways. This domestic<br />
terminal used to be the old Ikeja<br />
Airport. International operations moved<br />
to the new international airport when it<br />
was ready, while domestic operations<br />
moved to the Ikeja Airport, which became<br />
the domestic airport. The domestic<br />
operations were relocated to the old<br />
Lagos domestic terminal in 2000 after a<br />
fire. A new domestic privately funded<br />
terminal known as MMA2 has been constructed<br />
and was commissioned on 7<br />
April 2007. In 2009, the airport served<br />
5,644,572 passengers.<br />
