It was not a fluke, folks! Ethiopian Airlines means business regarding operations to and from the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.

Barely two days after the historic commencement of international flight operations at the airport, another Ethiopian Airlines flight landed at the airport minutes ago.

The flight which originated from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, landed with passengers around 12:30 p.m., indicating the commencement of normal operations at the international wing of the airport.

News Express reports that Ethiopian Airlines last Saturday afternoon became the first to begin international operations at the airport and later left for Ethiopia with 153 passengers. A fulfillment of the promise made to Ndigbo by President Goodluck Jonathan while seeking their votes in 2011, Akanu Ibiam is the first airport in Nigeria’s South-East to enjoy international status.

Sincere 9gerian: Tinubu's Nations Newspaper, notorious for spewing lies, reported that less than 50 passengers were airlifted on the return trip of the inaugural flight. Shame on enemies of progress

kettykin: At the Rate the Enugu international Airport is going to surpass most of the existing international airports particularly

Symphony007: Is'nt it ironic that among the majority of the passengers on this plane are politicians and igbo PDP big wigs. On the return flight, among the passengers were the state governor, sulivan chime and his aides, deputy senate president, ike ekweremadu and his aides. They can keep cooking the books and the media can keep trumpeting how many people land and take off everyday but soon when things go fallow, everyone's eyes will be turned away.

By the way, why don't you folks comment of threads calling out the jonathan's administration corruption? Like the oil theft one on frontpage, you always shy away from the truth because it hurts and have your private delusional parties here where you pat each other on the back for mediocratic achievements.

You don't know what you are talking about, this is a screenshot from the flight on Friday (from Enugu to Dubai). All the economy seats are booked (only the business class seats are yet to be taken).

IGBO-SON:


^^^Oh boy....see bitterness! It's people like you that Igbos have to be wary of; i can just sense your hatred and bitterness at something that improves the fortunes of Ndigbo which has been denied us ever since the civil war, no thanks to your hateful type calling the shots!

So you've not read that all int'l flights in and out of Akanu Ibiam Int'l have been fully booked for at least the next two weeks? Now tell me why -if not b'cos of your badbelle- you'd like to revert us back to what we had before bearing in mind what i've just told you.....and also knowing another int'l airport in this country isn't receiving as much int'l traffic yet you don't mind that one hanging on to its status!
