It seems so; but the airport is hardly operational during the harmattan season. In fact no plane has landed or taken off from the airport since December 8 due to bad weather.

9jakohai:
The airport is being closed for runway repairs.....
Simple

exlinklodge:
And the plan to do that this festival period?
what nonsense

9jakohai:


Biafra or no biafra....when runway is bad,,,....it must be repaired.

Or if bad accident happens during the festive period...

Besides....Uyo, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Benin...and Owerri Airports are STILL OPEN.

eaglechild:

None of these airports are less than 3 hours drive from Enugu.

The closure is ill timed considering that the the involved dates are the busiest and will cause tremendous hardship and potential loss of lives to hundreds of travellers who will be forced to reroute and end up in the dilapidated and congested federal roads they were trying to avoid.

The repair has been overdue for so many months now so waiting till the busiest time of the year to effect it just seems like a deliberate act to punish travellers.

SageTravels:
Air travellers to Enugu during this Christmas festivities may face hard times as the Federal Government (FG) has planned to shut down the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu for repair work on the runway.

Sagetravels.com gathered that the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) had written to the Presidency for approval to shut down the airport for flight operations to resurface the entire runway which has been overdue.

The Airport will be closed to traffic at 3 pm daily from December 14 to December 21, 2017, and December 27 to January 4, 2018, to enable repair of the facility.

Authoritative sources informed Sagetravels.com that airlines have been notified about the planned closure in due course and the plan is that flight operations will be diverted to Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport, Owerri or Portharcourt International Airport, Portharcourt.

Affected passengers can contact their airline for rescheduling or rerouting or their flights.

Fool...sorry follysho...why is that a thing of joy for you?

That's why we want Biafra..when we will have a befitting Internation airport like other smaller countries like Ghana...

Did you see in this pic that Ghana airways is functional while that of the big for nothing Nigeria has since died?
Can you imagine, zoogeria is just being over hyped by those afonja media that is deceiving their people and other zombies.
What a failed state.

With Biafra, airport authority won't wait for the period its citizens are arriving for Christmas to do the repairs...

DonVikings:
And if someone dies and a result of the bad state of the road tomorrow, you would still blame the "zoo government that hates ibos".

When will you people be tired of wailing over everything? Good thing happens, you wail. Bad thing happens, you wail. Nothing happens, you still wail.

Get out of here.

tuoyoojo:
the timing is so bad

did the runway suddenly get bad overnight

its like choosing to replace the roof of a class room that would be used to write exams

eaglechild:

Stop dishing out wrong information with so much authority.
The airport has been functioning.

seguno2:


......during the height of Christmas travels
That is not simple.
Sir, that is wickedness.
No other way to describe it.

I guess you have no need to use any airport, so you probably won't know that harmattan haze disrupted flight at Enugu airport.
