Niamey Airport

Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, Niger, dates from the 1960s and operates a single main passenger terminal with additional military and cargo facilities, making it a small-to-medium international gateway for the country. As Niger’s primary airport it offers the main link to regional capitals and a handful of long-haul connections, and is located roughly 10 km east of downtown Niamey with road access by taxi, shared minibus and car hire—many hotels also provide airport shuttles. Services and on-site prices are generally modest compared with larger hubs, though airfares can be higher due to limited competition; the field serves as the home base for the national carrier Niger Airlines and handles several West African regional operators.
