| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General Tunde Idiagbon International Airport | ILR | 96 km (60 mi) | 10,169 ft | 1,126 ft |
| Ibadan Airport (regional) | IBA | 38 km (24 mi) | 7,875 ft | 725 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,169 ft, ILR can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,126 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
