About Asaba International Airport

Asaba International Airport lies in the tropics at 6.20° N, 6.67° E, on Africa/Lagos time (UTC+1). Tropical airports contend with heat and humidity, both of which thin the air and lengthen takeoff runs, and with convective storms that build fast in the afternoon.

Asaba International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 11/29, measures 11,155 ft by 190 ft, which puts the field in the long-haul capable category: widebodies operate comfortably, though the very longest sectors may need a payload trade. The surface is asphalt. It is lit for night operations.
