The ignorance that all international flights originate from ONE airport abroad and must end in ONE airport in Nigeria is part of our biggest damaged mindset of being in Nigeria for too long. All over the world, one airport can specialize in receiving international flights from Asia and another specializes in flights from Europe, etc. There is no reason why Ethiopian and Turkish air that indicated interest to fly to Enugu should not continue to use the AIIA. While the new Anambra Intl. airport concentrates on getting direct flights from China and the far-east where most Nigerian traders visit. Truth be told, AIIA, Enugu cannot handle more than 6 international airlines going there daily. The infrastructure simply does not exist for enough baggage claim carrousel, airport security, or even chairs for intending travelers!

What we ask for each time we say London Heathrow airport handles 80 million passengers why can't Lagos handle the same? Yet we don't invest in the level of infrastructure to enable us to handle that population of passengers as Heathrow, or Atlanta, or Bangkok. It's like a village hut owner asking why his hut cannot contain 500 people to sleep in comfort while Nicon Hilton Abuja can contain 1,000 people to sleep in comfort. The answer is INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE TO HANDLE IT! None of our airports in Nigeria today was built to properly handle 2 million passengers. So any airport handling more than that without a massive expansion of infrastructure is doing so chaotically and people will hate to use such overcrowded hellish facilities.

The sad thing about Nigerians is that they want all planes to land in one airport because it's located in their village, yet they won't spend the money to build such facilities to handle that massive number. Look at Lagos airport, it is congested and chaotic. It does not even have chairs for passengers to sit in! You will have to pretend you want to eat Mr. Biggs just to sit in their chairs and wait for your flight! Imagine if all flights to Abuja, Kano, PH are also forced to use only Lagos airport with its very poor infrastructure.

Countries where more than 6 international airlines use an airport ensure that such airports are huge! It must have many terminal and an adequate number of chairs for the number of passengers expected. In fact, many such airports abroad require trains to move from one terminal to another because the airport is vast to ensure an easy and efficient flow of passengers, landings, takeoffs, and where planes can park. Nigeria cannot afford to build such super airports, yet we always want our tiny terminals and tiny aprons to hold 100 planes at once! Not to mention the number of people who will need to be searched and processed before they get to the secure parts of the airport. It is often a logistical nightmare that countries with the poor organizational ability and inadequate infrastructure are unable to cope with.

I have said this before and will repeat it again because our people don't understand this fine point. We build airports so that BOTH Nigerians and foreigners can come and use the facility without crying about the hellish ordeal of going through our airports. The level of ease using our airports should be the same level of ease using Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town or Cairo, or Nairobi airports! Even Ghana has upgraded the Kotoka Intl airport because your airport isn't just for your citizens. It should also meet basic international standards and AVOID OVERCROWDING due to too few facilities INCLUDING QUEUING TO USE TOILETS!

This fool, when peter obi was doing nothing as governor except paying fools like you to spread propaganda how he is the best this and that, especially when oil sold for over $100 you were attacking everyone that called out peter obi. Now that Obiano has successfully exposed him as a fraud who wasted Anambra 8 years you are all over the place trying to paint obiano bad. Now you have discovered Anambra IGR is low, you have discovered Awka needs to be developed. In a bid to save face for your paymaster.Take your nonsense out of here, go back to your platuea state. No one wants to hear you..


In other news, first Awka stadium getting ready.. Its as if Willie Obiano is the first Anambra governor with the state getting all its firsts under him, for a governor whose tenure eas plagued by recession, low oil prices, Buhari, etc. SMH

This anambra airport, 06/24 is correct
I don't think they will make that kind of mistake. According to the cardinal you will see small numbers B4 big or maybe it's from Nigeria location because other Airports starts with small number/big numbers (that's either NE/SW or SE/NW)

The images below is Anambra Airport runway I identified on cardinal point and Abuja airport runway code respectively

Enugu airport 08/26
PH Airport03/21
Even Asaba airport is 11/29
Akwa ibom Airport 03/21
Lagos airport 18/36
Even Kano airport has same runway number with anambra 05/23 and 06/24

London Airport 09/27
JFK airporthas 04/22 and 13/31

SmartProf:
So this redeployment is the novel solution to the insecurity witnessed? Our security institutions are so used to old tactics.

This building below looks like a warehouse or clearing house

PROUDIGBO:
Still wondering how the cargo aspect of the airport is gonna operate. I suggested a few weeks ago that it may be that for now goods will be cleared by customs and evacuated as soon as they arrive for export or importation.

leicestercamper:
This is cool. Awka Millennium city is the best precinct in the entire eastern region. This is the only area in igbo land where you can find 100% covered drains, central water systems, etc
