Ajaokuta Airstrip lies about 22 km from the town of Ajaokuta in Nigeria's Kogi State and was originally built to support construction of the Ajaokuta steel mill. Cargo and equipment flights for the mill have used the strip in the past, and in 2024 the state government announced plans to expand it into an international cargo airport, though no regular civil airline or freight service currently operates there. For present-day air freight needs in the region, Abuja's international airport remains the more practical option.
