Nigeria Airports
In 1990 Nigeria had thirty-two airports with paved
runways,
three of which--Murtala Muhammad International at Lagos,
Aminu
Kano International at Kano, and Port Harcourt--offered
regularly
scheduled international flights. The parastatal Nigeria
Airways
provided domestic service between these three airports and
fields
in ten other Nigerian cities. Schedule irregularities and
passenger complaints were common, and the government put
increasing pressure on Nigeria Airways to improve its
standard of
service and reduce its financial losses. Despite the
problems,
the number of passengers on domestic flights increased
throughout
the 1980s, in part because of the poor state of other
modes of
transportation.
