## Description

Once Niger's capital, now a regional centre, Zinder pairs a storied past as the seat of the Damagaram sultanate with a modest present-day airport in the country's south-east. Scheduled flights are limited and aimed chiefly at Niamey. The airport has no freight operation of its own; the region's farm produce, leather and trade goods travel by road and through busy cross-border exchange with Kano in Nigeria, while urgent air consignments go via Diori Hamani in the capital. Zinder's logistics weight lies in overland and border trade and in its historic Birni quarter rather than in aviation.
