Traffic in Nigeria is heavily concentrated: Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) alone handles about 7.2 million passengers a year, roughly 103% of the 7 million across the 4 airports listed here. That pattern is typical of a country with one dominant hub carrier feeding a single gateway.
Between them these airports operate 5 runways serving 4 cities, all on a single national clock. Every airport below links to a live map of aircraft observed within available ADS-B coverage around the field.
The airports are spread across roughly 4 degrees of latitude and 6 degrees of longitude. The network is geographically compact enough that most domestic sectors remain comparatively short. Field elevations vary less dramatically than they do in the world's mountain-airport networks. The average across this selected set is 1.2 runways per airport.
Read airport by airport, the selected Nigeria network is not interchangeable: Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) has 2 runways and about 7.2 million annual passengers, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) has 1 runway and no comparable traffic figure, Asaba International Airport (ABB) has 1 runway and no comparable traffic figure and Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Bauchi State International Airport (BCU) has 1 runway and no comparable traffic figure. Those differences matter when comparing a live map. A larger passenger total indicates schedule scale, while runway count describes physical layout; neither number by itself proves how delayed, connected or operationally efficient an airport will be on a particular day.
With 4 gateways in this data cut, the Nigeria hierarchy is readable directly: LOS contributes 103% of the represented passenger total, ABV contributes 0% of the represented passenger total, ABB contributes 0% of the represented passenger total and BCU contributes 0% of the represented passenger total. That makes LOS the first gateway here without reducing ABV to a minor field, since its traffic is about 0% of LOS's.
The physical ranking differs from the traffic ranking: LOS has 2 listed runways, ABV has 1 listed runway, ABB has 1 listed runway and BCU has 1 listed runway. BCU is the highest of the group at 1,965 ft, against 135 ft at LOS. Those facts describe layout and setting, not a live capacity forecast; weather, active runway configuration and traffic flow still decide what a viewer sees on the map at a given hour.
