Flights to Akure
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Akure is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Akure Airport (AKR), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,195 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Akure Airport (regional) | AKR | 12 km (7 mi) | 9,195 ft | 1,100 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,195 ft, AKR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,100 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
