The passenger numbers in the original post are interesting. The biggest growth potential is probably at Lagos, where the Nigerian government serverely restrict the traffic rights given to foreign airlines, even in the absence of a credible national carrier of their own. Lagos airport, which has a good terminal, could be the hub of West Africa, but shows little sign of becoming one while huge fees are required from anyone seeking additional rights. A sadly wasted opportunity in a country which , thanks to oil, is hardly lacking in foreign exchange.
