Performance considerations
Coastal hot/humid year-round; harmattan dust (Dec–Feb) reduces RVR but rarely below 1,500 m. Runway 18L/36R 3,900 m and 18R/36L 2,743 m — heavy widebody to 18L/36R.
Why crews call LFS for DNMM: LFS holds direct NCAA permit access at DNMM, SAHCO handling agreement, and FX-to-naira fuel settlement that resolves the single biggest pain point for ad-hoc operators in West Africa.
