## Description

Built by Shell in 1999 and now jointly run by FAAN and Nigerian oil firms, Warri Airport (QRW) owes its existence to the petroleum economy of the Niger Delta. Located at Osubi in Okpe, some 10 km northeast of Warri, it ranks among the busier domestic fields in southern Nigeria. A handful of cargo and freight operators are based on site, but throughput is dominated by oil-and-gas equipment and belly freight on passenger services rather than scheduled freighters. Shippers moving intercontinental air cargo from the region generally route through Lagos (LOS) or nearby Port Harcourt (PHC), which carry the integrator and mainline-carrier traffic. For logistics professionals, QRW is best understood as a specialised energy-sector airfield rather than a general air-freight gateway.
