This airport seems archaic....services that are normally automated at other airports are done manually here.
The safe protocols against the Co-vid 19 pandemic are followed here but not a 100% though. I think the pandemic has made activities there quiet (my opinion though).
There are five commercial Airlines (Air peace, Arik, Aero and Axman Airlines) that operates from Benin Airport to Abuja and Lagos everyday.
The Airport is located very close to the city centre and just 5 minutes drive from ring road(city centre).
It also has ILS (Instrument Landing Equipment) and DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) which makes it possible for flights to land at all times.
I love the sense of seriousness (about Covid protocols) here.
The service at the entrance to the exit need to be upgraded to world standard. It looks like a vehicle transport park. The ac needs to work properly inside.
The place is nice but the buildings are old and need upgrading.
On my very recent flight through this airport, I observed as follows
Covid 19 protocol is fairly observed with everyone inside the airport building wearing a face mask and the place scanty with less activities. Though just outside the building towards the car pack is a different story all together.
The Airconditioners seem to be working optimally.
The parking area is quite big and spacious. I didn t find out if there is a gate fee or parking fee however.
The few people I interacted with were nice and courteous.
The environment looked fairly clean.
Of course there were good safety equipment including working fire extinguishers. Security was also not bad at the time.
The entrance is wheelchair accessible.
Benin airport experience nice but the air conditioning system is not functioning Kindly make repairs. Please.
Small terminal but lively place. Nice people all around
Good parking space, Conducive environment. Sometimes boarding are delayed. Excellent service by the airport personnel's.
Tidy, peaceful and organized environment. Not prone to the hustle and bustle of major hubs. The waiting hall is dotted with shops selling artifacts reminiscent of the old Benin Kingdom. There are also some bukkas offering some local delicacies and dishes. The security checks equipment still needs some upgrading though.
