Asaba Airport (IATA: ABB, ICAO: DNAS) is an airport serving Asaba, the capital of Delta State of Nigeria. The airport handles domestic services connecting the city to Nigeria's major metropolitan centres.[3] It also serves Onitsha, across the Niger River in Anambra State.
The airport was opened with great expectations in 2013,[4] but rapid deterioration of the new runway has required major restoration.[5][6] The Delta State government signed a concession agreement with a consortium of private companies to manage and run the Asaba Airport for a period of 30 years in February 2021. Aside from the companies upgrading the infrastructures at the airport, the major concessionaire is to pay annual royalty to the state government until the airport is again handed back to the state.
