Flights to Lagos
LOS · Murtala Muhammed International Airport
Murtala Muhammed International is on the Lagos mainland 22km from Victoria Island, and serves Africa's largest city with a population over 15 million. South African Airways used to fly JNB–LOS directly but the route is currently served via Addis Ababa or Nairobi with Ethiopian and Kenya Airways. It is overwhelmingly a business and diaspora route — Lagos is Nigeria's commercial capital and a major African fintech and entertainment hub — with tourist leisure volumes remaining low.
