Bauchi Airport is an airport located in the city of Bauchi in Nigeria.

Scheduled airline service has been moved[3] to the newer Bauchi State Airport located out of the city. The IATA airport code BCU has been transferred to the new airport.[4] The former NE/SW runway is now used as a taxiway and carries taxiway markings.

Even though most operations have been moved to the newer airport, the in-town airport is still a functioning landmark.[5]
