Port Harcourt International Airport is a near sea-level field at 87 ft (27 m), positioned at 5.0155° N, 6.9496° E in the Northern deep tropics. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 9,843 ft / 3,000 m. The airport clock uses Africa/Lagos (WAT, UTC+01:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Elele is the closest retained city-time anchor at 18 km. DLA Douala is the closest retained airport alternative at 327 km.
PHC is compared with LOS Lagos at 437 km, ABV Abuja at 445 km, KAN Kano at 801 km inside the retained Nigeria airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
PHC-DLA Douala: 327 km, about 1h 15m, +0h. PHC-LOS Lagos: 437 km, about 1h 23m, +0h. PHC-ABV Abuja: 445 km, about 1h 24m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies PHC as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Port Harcourt.
PHC (DNPO) is a near sea-level field at 87 ft (27 m) in the deep tropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.

PHC's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 9,843 ft / 3,000 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
A specific operator or management record for PHC is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at faannigeria.org, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
PHC uses Africa/Lagos (WAT, UTC+01:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Port Harcourt International Airport is about 27 km from central Port Harcourt; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
DLA Douala is the closest retained alternate at 327 km, time difference +0h.
faannigeria.org is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place PHC inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
PHC ranks #4 in the curated Nigeria airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 4 airports.
PHC shares Africa/Lagos with ABV Abuja NG · KAN Kano NG · LOS Lagos NG. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
