Warri: the airport of the Niger Delta oil towns
Warri Airport (IATA QRW, ICAO DNSU), also called Osubi Airport after the village where it stands, lies about fifteen kilometers from the center of Warri in Delta State, in the Niger Delta of southern Nigeria. It was built by Shell in the late 1990s to serve the oil industry and has since become the civil airport of Warri, Effurun and Sapele, with scheduled flights to Lagos and Abuja and a steady traffic of helicopters and company aircraft to the oil fields and offshore platforms. The radar on this page shows what our data sources report around Warri; the arrivals and departures pages are linked above it.
Airlines and destinations
Nigerian domestic carriers fly from Warri to Lagos and Abuja, the two trunk routes, with Air Peace, United Nigeria Airlines and Arik Air among the operators over recent years; schedules and airlines change often in Nigeria's domestic market, so check the current timetable. There are no international flights. The helicopters of the oil companies and their contractors, flying to the platforms of the delta, make up much of the daily traffic. Warri lies beyond the reach of our receivers, so the live radar depends on other data sources.
Getting into Warri
Taxis and company drivers wait outside the terminal; the drive into Warri and Effurun takes twenty to forty minutes depending on the traffic, and most visitors on business are met by their host. Agree the fare before you set off if you take a taxi. There is no bus service to the airport worth planning around. The Warri-Sapele road and the East-West highway connect the airport with the rest of the delta.
Good to know
The terminal is a small single building with one departure hall; arrive an hour and a half ahead, because security screening is thorough and flights to Lagos are often full. Delays and cancellations are common across Nigeria's domestic network, so leave generous time for connections in Lagos. The Niger Delta has a history of security problems and most governments advise caution; read the travel advice and travel with a trusted local contact. The regional alternatives are Benin City and Port Harcourt, and Lagos is the international gateway. Every airport we track is listed in the airport overview.
