Things don't happen that quickly in Nigeria. Remember it took a solid two years to expand the airport runway. So ILS won't be installed for at least the next two years.

Arroba my broda, am sure you are at that airport live. All our hope is in you right now.

I just tracked it, 38 minutes left to land. This is very good. Arroba, makaboy, Cfcfan, spyder, Joe and others, those who are in coal city, keep you cameras rolling.

The plane is now in Nigerian airspace!

President Jonathan's thoughts on facebook: "In 2011, I made a promise to the people of Nigeria that every zone of our great nation would have an international airport. A little over two years to the day I made that promise we are witnessing the inaugural international flight from the Akanu Ibiam International airport, Enugu. As I said during my inaugural address, "the time for lamentation is over; this is the era of transformation". Our rail infrastructure is being brought back on track and expanded; our road networks are receiving attention even as we insist on getting them wider and better. As some of you may have noticed, the aviation sector is being overhauled so as to make flying accessible to the average Nigerian. Let me use this occasion to encourage all patriots to remain resolute in our collective pursuit of development and happiness. We must make progress together and no Citizen, no Community in our Country will be left behind. Our determination to ensure developmental justice in ALL the zones shall remain unshakable."

Happy joe is a disguised Yoruba Internet warrior. I don't expect any pics from him except to criticize negatively. Btw, 747 needs only 2850 meters to land safely and Enugu runway is a total of 3120meters!
Capetown SA takes 747s and its 3km length

The duration of the flight was 4 hours 12 minutes.

O boy, see drama. Nice one.

That means no further expansion is needed.
