## Description

United Nigeria Airlines and the state-backed Air Bayelsa, flying ATR 72-600s to Lagos and Abuja since November 2024, are the operators that define Bayelsa International Airport (ICAO DNBY) — a passenger field with belly-hold capacity only, not an air cargo station. Owned and run by the Bayelsa State Government, the airport at Amassoma near Yenagoa opened to scheduled traffic in 2024 and serves the oil and gas economy of the Niger Delta. No dedicated cargo terminal, freighter operation or standing air-cargo customs clearance is confirmed on site. Turboprop belly space takes courier bags and light general cargo at best, while drilling equipment, spares and project freight move through Port Harcourt International (PHC, around 100 km east of Yenagoa by road) or Lagos Murtala Muhammed (LOS), Nigeria's principal air freight gateway. Forwarders quoting Yenagoa should confirm handling capability, opening hours and truck access in writing before booking.
