Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport ((IATA: GWI, ICAO: DNOG)) is a specialized agro-cargo and passenger airport located in the Ilishan Remo area of the Ogun State of Nigeria. It is owned by the Government of Ogun State.[1]

The airport is strategically positioned near the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to serve as a logistics hub for the Southwestern region and a designated alternative to the congested Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos).[2]

Its central feature is its 4,000-metre (13,000 ft) long and 60-metre (200 ft) wide runway, which is one of the longest in West Africa, built to accommodate wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 777 and Airbus A380.[3][4] The airport has been granted an Interim Aerodrome Operational Permit by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).[5]

The airport commenced scheduled commercial passenger flight operations on 7 October 2025.[6]
