Port Harcourt International Airport (IATA: PHC, ICAO: DNPO) is located in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, and is the main airport serving southeastern Nigeria.
Port Harcourt International Airport consists of a single terminal with separate facilities for international and domestic flights.
In 2004, the airport served 781,046 passengers.
On August 18, 2006, the airport was closed for repairs. The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority stated that the emergency shutdown was in order to overhaul the runway and build a fence around the facility. Such maintenance had been in planning stages for several months, but an electrical fire on August 17, 2006 made repairs immediately necessary. All domestic flights will be diverted to Imo Airport and Calabar Airport while international flights will be diverted to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja or Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.
It is named for Lewis Vernon Harcourt, 1st Viscount Harcourt.
