INTERNATIONAL SKIES: Nigeria

Every week The HUB provides statistics highlighting airline and airport activity in an individual domestic and international market. Alongside looking at the market's historical development over the past 30 years, we take the following week's schedule as a snapshot and compare weekly seat capacity with the previous year, showing which airlines and airports are growing and which are constraining.

The data is all supplied by our sister UBM Aviation brand OAG Aviation from OAG Schedules iNET.
