## Description

Operating since 1964, Zaria Airport (ZAR) is best known as the home of the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, the country's principal training school for pilots, air traffic controllers and engineers. Located in Kaduna State, the field is geared to flight instruction rather than scheduled commercial traffic. There are no freighter services or express integrators, and commercial cargo throughput is effectively nil. Goods bound for Zaria are handled at Kaduna (KAD), Kano (KAN) or Abuja (ABV) and delivered by road. For logistics professionals, ZAR is a training airfield with no freight relevance.
