The resumption of scheduled flights at Ibadan Airport represents a significant milestone for Nigeria’s domestic aviation sector. By combining infrastructural upgrades with regulatory compliance, Oyo State has positioned the airport as a safe, efficient, and commercially viable hub, with potential long-term benefits for regional development and connectivity.

The Ladoke Akintola Airport in Ibadan has reopened after six months of upgrades, welcoming its first flight ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s visit for the Olubadan coronation. The modernization is expected to boost regional air travel and support Oyo State’s economic growth.
