United Nigerian Airline Starts Operation, Makes Enugu Its Operation Base by christejames(m): 9:45pm On Jan 21, 2021
Stakeholders in the aviation sector, as well as residents of South-East, on Wednesday, hailed the arrival of another airline at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.

The United Nigeria Airline touched down at the Airport Wednesday afternoon, amidst jubilation by passengers and stakeholders.

DAILY POST gathered that this brings to 7, the number of airlines operating from the Airport.

Speaking to journalists shortly after the demonstration flight landed, the Manager, Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Mrs. Cecilia Oguama said the development would boost activities within and outside the Airport.

She said, “we are glad for the increase of flight operations, increase of passengers too. It will affect our revenue positively because with this flight now, we have almost 7 domestic airlines.

“So, passengers will have more choice, they are starting with Lagos and Abuja and I know very soon, they will expand to other routes.

“My expectation is that they will bring excellency on board, they will bring timeliness on board and they will improve generally on the system.”

Also speaking, Mr. Victor Egbo, HOD Commercial, Akanu Ibiam International Airport, re-echoed the joy shared by the Airport Manager.

Egbo said, “This is a whole gamut of revenue source for us; overtime we had just about two airlines operating from Enugu. Just now today, having an additional airline, we have at least an additional 10 percent of our annual revenue, aeronautic revenue source.

“It is a very big thing for us. And also for Enugu and the people of the South-East, this comes with a general improvement on the economy.

“This airport will also be hosting this airline as its home base, we have not had anything like that in the recent past.”

A passenger, Mr. Jude Emenike said he was delighted that more airlines were now operating from Enugu.

“This is no longer a time we had no choice to make. I am happy that another airline has arrived at this Airport, especially as its base. It will in no small means boost not just the economy of the airport but Enugu State and beyond.

“It’s a good thing and we the passengers are happier for it,” he said with joy.

Another passenger, Miss Jane Obi told our correspondent that her expectation is that the airline should make a difference in the area of timeliness.

“Since Enugu is its operational base, I expect that timeliness should be their watchword. I am happy that we now have a variety of choices to make,” she noted.

If not for the policy of "keep them down" that has been perpetrated by successive govt over the years against the Southeast, only Lagos and Abuja airport would be busier than Enugu airport.

In fact if international flight is allowed to flow, Enugu international airport will rival Lagos and Abuja.

Even kano and pH would still be busier than Enugu Airport, I have lived in those places, sentiments apart. Kano and pH by far has more business inflow and outflow than Enugu

Story for the deities.

What makes an airport busy is the popularity of the location it is sited.

Lagos and Abuja are by far more visited and popular than Enugu.

Even Port Harcourt is more popular than Enugu.

That's why you are more likely to see Nigerians of other tribes in those locations (Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt) than Enugu.

Also, their popularity explains why you can easily get a connecting flight from other countries.

Again, economic activities have its role too.

So, stop the wishful thinking.

This keep them down policy was masterminded by the very party you lot supported with your lives- PDP
While the party (APC) you love to hate so much is giving the enablement to make this possible.

You’re right.
Kano and Kaduna are also more popular than Enugu.

We all know Enugu is crazy dry when it comes to investment and business inflow and activities at the airport is insanely dry. Myself and 6 other persons were once the only passengers who flew from Lagos to Enugu one fine Wednesday morning. It is so funny that the plane looked like a BRT bus taking its last set of passengers to their respective bus stops.

Port Harcourt is busier than Enugu could ever dream of.

How you can conveniently claim Enugu, the same Enugu Airport that I know will rival Lagos Airport and Abuja Airport is unbelievable.

When you all wants to take pictures of how beautiful Enugu is, you start and end with Rangers Avenue, the same Rangers that is joggable within 20 minutes. You leave out Gariki, Agbani Road, Enugu East, Nkanu West, etc in general because they are underdeveloped.

Enough with the Enugu hype. The likes of Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt are light years ahead of the Akanu Ibiam 'International' Airport when it comes to activities. Include Akwa Ibom's and Aminu Kano.

The Industrial Layout is dry as hell. Nothing happens there. The businesses that have managed to stay afloat over the years all look like they are at their last phase of fizzing. The Federal Government won't bring investments. If investors find Enugu worthy, I believe they will come in but no, you will hardly see any. It is not the fault of Gburugburu but the victim mentality again.

It is too early in the year to beat one harmattan chest.
