Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri is busier than Aminu Kano airport Kano, so how did the later end up being more viable?

Again, travelers using Owerri airport are more likely to pay more fees because people in the catchment area has more disposable income. Lol, ethnocentrism will never allow this country to work.
viability does not mean number of passengers worth, Kano Airport deals in international flight more than the Owerri Airport thats where the gains normally comes from grin

First off you are very ignorant. I am not Ikwerre and Ikwerre is dry fertile land not creeks and being Igbo or not doesn't change the proximity of Aba to Port Harcourt Airport. Ignorance is indeed a big disease and Amaechi said he is Igbo many times.

While I want to agree with him, I also can disagree a bit....building an airport can open up lands in the area for other development and expansion. I know New Airport Road in Ibadan has opened up that area. It all depends on the plan by the State Governments long term and short term. I do agree that building a massive project like that allows for kickbacks and embezzlement because you will need tons of contractors for different parts of the project.

Reference:


Indeed. And as I have been saying for years. The health of the aviation sector is incumbent on the viability of the middle class. It is the middle class that travels not the rich or the poor.


That middle class was more or less lost in the 80' and ever since the aviation industry has become a meat grinder, chopping up and spitting out one brand after the other in short order including the national carrier and all attempts at reviving it.

It is simply the case of an economic structure that is not fit to support aviation as the causative and not the symptoms of unviable airports the man talks about.
If there's no market for air travel due to the absence of "middle class" in Nigeria like you said,
Then explain why airpeace keep buying new aircrafts almost daily?
They just ordered 5 brand new Embraer 175 today from Brazil to be supplied next year.
Not that people aren't flying ,just that some airports are located in places that have little no no economics driving air commute to those places,hence the airports become redundant with almost zero yield, dumping the cost of operation burden on FG.
Middle class in Nigeria has been growing sir,the evidence is all around you.
The problem is the distribution of the growth of the middle class across the entire area of Nigeria chief.

We should try to remove propaganda from the running of government because it will never usher in development. It can never represent the facts on ground. I don't know whether call this mischievous or hate filled.
Kano hardly outperform Owerri in 4th place but since 1983 it was built, no efforts to uplift the airport infrastructure to meet international standards.

It's all political gimmicks.

It is called quota theatrics; the bane of development in the amalgamated region.
Neither portharcourt airport nor Kano makes more money than Sam mbakwe airport annually, international or no international.

People who use airports regularly know this truth and are conversant with situations like these for their bookings:
Abuja to to Ph- no flight
Abuja to Owerri - ✓ owerri to Abuja
Lagos to Ph- no flight
Lagos to Owerri- ✓ owerri to Lagos

Going to Owerri is always available. I challenge any entity to disprove this fact

For example, Ebonyi State airport has not been used any commercial airliners since it's commission one year ago.

A typical example of White elephant project

If you tell them that the money spent on building some of these airstrips in some States could’ve been better utilized in building a subway system or even a monorail to ease the dependence on transporting goods & personnel via road, they’ll call you names. Today they’re being schooled in plain black & white on how their governors spent billions just to give them empty bragging rights! A white elephant project is not so different from the old school 419, except it’s on a larger scale. It’s a money laundering politician’s wet dream! He gets feted & applauded by the same people he’s robbing. grin

See who dey teach me history, the only yoruba land wey you go talk for history is oyo state.

Remember that during nigerian civil war, almost all the building in south east was burn to ashes, no war in west, no war in south.
But go to same south east now and see for yourselves ibo no be una mate

Look at this download from NBS or so, imagine Owerri connecting directly to international routes? At least, extra 300k would have been recorded by the airport.

Mana, yadiba!

Flights to Owerri are always available because passengers to fill the planes no dey na,common sense.
PH routes don't have as much available flights because they've been fully booked and has left.
Airpeace uses its triple seven(777) to fly lagos to PH routes sometimes,
I dare them to do same for owerri grin

It's a shame. No economically viable airport in the entire sadEAST the land of billionaires that escaped from different prisons across the world.

PH is an international airport that connects people from outside Nigeria THROUGH LAGOS and ABUJA to PH.
That explains the 777. But the flights are not always available because they are international, which explains the "No flight" days.
Everybody knows that airlines don't schedule flights on routes that are not busy (i.e booked well).
But I can't wait for ABIA state to build its own airport. After that wind go blow and we go see fowl nyash. grin

He also highlighted that the increasing construction of airports by state governors places a growing regulatory burden on the agency.

He failed to explain how the burden is placed. I agree some of the airport may not be viable.

Let’s assume that’s true.

So yorubaland has Lagos

North central has Abuja


South south has Portharcout

North has Kano


Please what does southeast have?

Can’t southeast develop one city to be proud of and be of national pride??

Shey awa lo ko ba yin ni?
Are we responsible for your unfortunate situation?

When southwest leaders were fighting and building their region, what were your leaders doing?

Una go talk say una sabi business thinking business ends in selling okrika and spareparts. We southwesterners are smart and strategic, do you expect us to develop international airports all over southwest cities when it is not an economic smart decision. We think smart and long term. Not doing things to show ego

Oh i forgot,
Peter obi developed Anambra brown line

You are naturally predisposed to being stupid with the nature of your comments. Apart from lagos airport which is federal which state airport in SW is viable? Okay let us do comparison of state airports in SE and SW. Which one is more viable? Dude stop being dense and daft abeg, it is making you a nuisance.
