Ethiopian To Become The First International Carrier To Fly To Enugu, Nigeria by awodman: 4:13pm On Aug 02, 2013 |
To Serve Abuja with Daily Flights Ethiopian Airlines, the fastest growing airline in Africa, is pleased to announce the commencement of new services to Enugu, Nigeria as of August 24, 2013 becoming the first international carrier to fly to the city. Ethiopian will also increase its five weekly flights to Abuja to daily service. Ethiopian will operate four times a week to Enugu, its 76th destination. Ethiopian, an indigenous and truly Pan African airline, is one of the oldest carriers flying to Nigeria and has been serving the country since 1960 strengthening trade, cultural and tourism ties between Nigeria and the rest of the world. Now, passengers from Enugu will have direct flight connections to many destinations in Africa, Middle East, Asia, South America and Europe with the youngest and modern fleet in the continent and enjoy the usual Ethiopian hospitality. "Our flight to Enugu is another exciting step towards enhancing our commitment to the needs of our travelling publics. Nigeria has always been and continues to be one of our important destinations in West Africa. We are continually improving our products and services to meet our customers’ expectations. We thank the people and the government of Nigeria for their continued support in making this new service to Enugu possible," said Tewolde Gebremariam, CEO of Ethiopian. Passengers from our three gateways in Nigeria – Lagos, Abuja and Enugu – now have the opportunity to fly to destinations throughout the Ethiopian network, including Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Seoul, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, London, Toronto, Beijing, Beirut, Dubai, Mumbai, and Nairobi.

I can imagine living in Enugu and having to travel down to Lagos before taking a flight out of the country. That would have been crazy stressful. |

Re: Ethiopian To Become The First International Carrier To Fly To Enugu, Nigeria by manny4life(m): 7:57pm On Aug 02, 2013 |
So I checked tripadvisor and other websites, damn, it has like three connections...You have to connect from Lagos to their main hub and then to another before reaching to final destination. I checked from ENU to IAD (VA), it was a 58 hours trip + almost 3k. Like wth Good development but they need to patronize other airlines to come in so we can get better service, I'd def like to fly from IAD to ENU in DEC. |

See as how everybody dey wish say airline go fly come their city, Enugu don land, una wan bypass Lagos... Who talk say "dividends of democrazy" no sweet? Abeg, GEJ carry go.. The Bible said, when the righteous is in power, THE PEOPLE REJOICE, but when the wicked is in power, the people cry out. Need I say more - comparison to other administrations? This thread is a testament of how people are rejoicing "FINALLY", Enugu isn't that "AGIPA" airport, but one that will likely compete with Lagos. Now the people rejoice because the righteous and clean at heart is in power. GEJ has given me one more reason to earn my support. 7 Likes |
