We can say it’s a fact that transportation in general affects the development of cities worldwide. Airport development can be linked to economic development of a nation because air transportation comes with a lot of economic benefits.

It facilitates tourism; it provides jobs; encourages trading; it’s a bonus when it comes to emergency and humanitarian aid relief. The economic impact cannot be overemphasized.

They ranked their experience based on

Comfort (Gate seating & availability of rest zones)
Services, facilities & things to do

Where is Enugu International Airport?

The only airport that is convertible to a seaport in Africa.

Billions were spent rehabilitating that airport. No expense was spared.

Even the runway is so good, pilots are afraid of landing on it.

Shame on Nigeria and Nigerians.

Atiku was vice President for 8 years, no good airport.

Buhari is president, no good airport.

Yet stupid youths will come here and tell us to vote for them.

The best airport in Africa is in Accra Ghana, argue with google....

Pdp really destroyed this country during the last 16 years.

Upon all the billions and trillions looted by past and current politicans and government... We’ve got nothing to show for it, not even a good airport system. Nigeria has been caused from the root
