Airports at each end
Leaving Lagos
Lagos is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, whose 12,794-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

Cà Mau is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cà Mau Airport (CAH), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 4,921 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Rach Gia Airport (VKG, 87 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |

| Rach Gia Airport (regional) | VKG | 87 km (54 mi) | 4,921 ft | 7 ft |
