Arriving in Bama
Bama is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Maiduguri International Airport (MIU), 76 km (47 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,846 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maiduguri International Airport | MIU | 76 km (47 mi) | 9,846 ft | 1,099 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 10,514 km (6,533 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
