## Description

Maradi's commercial weight rests on trade, not air travel: Niger's southern business hub thrives on groundnuts, cowpeas, livestock and brisk cross-border commerce with Nigeria, while its airport plays only a supporting role. Scheduled service is sparse and oriented mainly towards Niamey. There is no dedicated freight operation; regional goods cross the nearby Nigerian border towards Kano or move by truck, and time-critical air shipments are handled through the capital's Diori Hamani Airport. The town's strength lies in road and border trade rather than aviation.
