Flight check, 2 October 2026
Air Peace lists Makurdi (MDI) on its route map, served from Lagos and Abuja. However, when we checked flight search sites on 28 September 2026 (Trip.com and Skyscanner), they showed no bookable Lagos to Makurdi departures, so the service appears irregular. Check flyairpeace.com for your travel date. If there is no flight, the usual options are flying to Abuja or Enugu and continuing by road, or going by road from Lagos.
