​Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa and Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos have been rated among the worst 20 airports.

This is outcome of a survey by renowned aviation organization, Sleep in Airport (sleepinairports.net).

The website ranked Lagos the fifth worst airport in the world, while Port Harcourt was ranked the third worst airport globally.

The criteria used included comfort (gate seating and availability of rest zones), services, facilities and things to do, food options, immigration/security, customer service, cleanliness, navigation and ease of transit and sleepability.

The website explained that the airports that appeared on the list of worst airports in the world are those that have the capacity to truly offend travellers.

“Within these terminals, there appears to be a general disinterest in a positive traveller experience. In some cases, passengers are made to stand or sit on the floor as they await their flights. In others, the bathrooms don’t have water, toilet paper, or any semblance of cleanliness,” it said.

“In some cases, the physical structure of the airport is fine, but the personnel are the problem. Got a problem? Don’t expect much in terms of customer service at these airports.

“If you find yourself travelling through one of these 20 terminals, brace yourself. You’ll want to give yourself just enough time to get in and get out. A minute more and you’ll be unhappy and uncomfortable – a minute less, and you risk missing your flight”, it added.

In order of ranking, the worst five airports in the world comprised Juba International Airport, South Sudan (JUB), Jeddah King Abdulaziz International Airport, Saudi Arabia (JED), Port Harcourt International Airport, Nigeria (PHC), Crete Heraklion International Airport, Greece (HER) and Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Nigeria (LOS).

Others are Santorini Thira National Airport, Greece (JTR), Dar es Salaam Julius Nyerere International Airport, Tanzania (DAR), Rhodes International Airport, Greece (RHO), Paris Beauvais-Tille Airport, France (BVA), Tashkent International Airport, Uzbekistan (TAS) and London Luton International Airport, England (LTN).

Others on the list were Rome Ciampino International Airport, Italy (CIA), Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport, Nepal (KTM), New York City LaGuardia, USA (LGA), Chania International Airport, Greece (CHQ), Caracas Simón Bolívar International Airport, Venezuela (CCS), Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, China (CAN), Cluj International Airport, Romania (CLJ), Islamabad Benazir Bhutto International Airport, Pakistan (ISB), and Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, Ethiopia (ADD).

On Port Harcourt airport, the website said for this year’s survey, respondents indicated that aggressive corruption was the biggest problem, with airport officials and staff allegedly demanding bribes for pretty much everything.

Other complaints included lack of bathroom facilities, lack of air conditioning, horrible baggage handling, and the tent that serves as the arrival terminal.

Port Harcourt airport last year was ranked the worst airport in the world by the same website.

On Lagos airport, the website said for many voters, there appears to be no discernible difference in the operations and facilities of the Lagos International Airport, but travellers also complained of massive corruption at the airport.

Others were filthy bathrooms, limited seating, archaic check-in procedures, sporadic air conditioning, and lousy customer service.

No be today nah ... E done taaaaaaah

They needn't explain too much 'cause I know that the Lagos International airport and Port Harcourt International airport are Substandard when compared to other international airports.

But I know my

EDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT is still the best in the World

Do we have any international airport in Nigeria?
The answer is no.What we have is an upgraded local airport.
I haven't travel out of this country but the pictures of some international airports or even local airports in some of these countries outside will wow you.
Enugu airport was supposed to be upgraded to an international hub instead what we got was a flood port and runway that some of roads is 100 times better of.
Port harcourt airport is the worst. Even our common sense Senator shouted and tweeted that Sudan airport is better than it.
Lagos airport is manageable but how can an international airport of that calibre not have a cctv and other facilities. That why we have beggars in uniform in the name of Customs and Immigration agents disgracing themselves begging everybody coming in there for tips as if government no dy pay them salaries!
Abuja airport is a bit OK after all our politicians normally fly through there and they will shamelessly try everything possible to make the airport manageable to suit them.
All other airports are just there for formality sake with some already converted to cattle ranch for Fulani herdsmen.
When do we ever get things right in this country? Even some local airports in Uk and United states are far more better than the international airports we have here.

May all the leaders,politicians ,contractors and anybody responsible for putting us in this mess never know peace all through their life.Oil that is blessings to other nation is curse to us.
Dubai, Algeria, Qatar etc created paradises with their oil proceeds but This shithole called Nigeria created hells for it's citizens with few individuals pocketed the proceeds from the oil such that their 30th generations can't lack in their life times

No Nigerian should go to hell after inhabiting this hell-hole of a country.. We have suffered enough already..From education, health, to all amenities.. We seen it all and need no second torture.
This excludes all poli-thief-ians.. Na dem get the hottest part..

FG should hand over those airport to private investors to manage and operate and that would solve the problem.

Very accurate ranking.


The MMIA would have ranked better if it wasn't named after a genocidal villain.

Wow another worst for the world's worst govt. Last week it was worst police today worst just keep em coming Maybe next week Nigeria as a country might be worst mistake in history or something

Lagos and PH airports tried sef. At least they are called AIRPORTS by the international standard.

It means that most of what we call 'airports' across Nigeria are not even considered as airport but motor parks.

Dont understand why a thing from this country cant be termed world class , it is always in the worse class category.

But I know my

buhari change

Truth be told, MMIA is so shitty. 1st thing i observed when i walked in is people sleeping on the grpund in open space. There is no designated area to sit and chill.

I Might be wrong tho

If you have travelled abroad before u will understand that those mentioned airport should be used as bus stops..

Believe me some train stations abroad is far better than our so called airports in spite of the huge money they budgeted for it..
Pathetic

Everything about Nigeria is now ranking worst nawa oooo!!

Everything under Buhari is worse, worse, worse..... kilode gan naa??
