Murtala Muhammed International Airport is the main official airport of Lagos, named after a former Nigerian head of state. The runways and local weather are not appropriate to receive sub-orbital traffic, and the airport mostly deals with local commuter flights (usually from nearby Asante). There are several direct connection flights from the major cities in Africa. The airport is jointly controlled and secured by the members of Lagos Island Council.

| - Murtala Muhammed International Airport is the main official airport of Lagos, named after a former Nigerian head of state. The runways and local weather are not appropriate to receive sub-orbital traffic, and the airport mostly deals with local commuter flights (usually from nearby Asante). There are several direct connection flights from the major cities in Africa. The airport is jointly controlled and secured by the members of Lagos Island Council. The airport is often referred to by the acronym M.I.A. (for Muhammed International Airport and Missing In Action) by pilots, who complain about the lack of air traffic controllers and the terrible weather conditions for landing. Travelers flying into the Lagos airport will find the security detail to be light, and most patrols won't shake you down for IDs, cyberware, or contraband. They will expect bribes, however, which is more difficult than it sounds given the lack of paper currency in the rest of the world and the low value of the local currency. * So, I've been doing some digging around in Nigerian history, and apparently this Murtala Muhammed guy came into power in 1975 and was promptly assassinated in 1976.
