The newly inaugurated Anambra Cargo Airport has recorded 142 flights with 3,865 passengers landing and taking off from the airport after one month of the opening of the facility.
The airport was opened for commercial services on Dec. 7 last year.
The Anambra Commissioner for Works, Mr Marcel Ifejiofor, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Umueri, near Awka, where the airport is located.
He noted that although the flight and passenger figures surpassed projections when compared with the airport’s contemporaries, it would have been more, if more airlines were using the airport.
NAN reports that so far, only Air Peace and United Nigeria Airlines are landing and taking off at the Anambra Airport.
Ifejiofor, who is also the head of the Anambra State Airport Project Committee, said the airport contributed significantly to easing passenger traffic during the yuletide.

Reason why the so called VAT cannot be used to measure economic viability

That is why I said it is not by having a few billionaires in dollars.

When it comes to general spending power of the majority, no ethnic group bests the Igbo in that regard.

3800 passengers in 142 flights....thats like 27 passengers per planes.

Nice one. tried booking a flight from Anambra to lagos but no space. Fully booked. More airlines should start operating to and from anambra Airport. passengers plenty.

Nigeria's socio-economic politics of hate aside, every one knows who is the boss.

Ndigbo no dey look Abdul or Yemi's face. Na money we get, we no kill person.

You can loud it. They speak their grammar, we await them at the point of action.

We are too busy making money to be worried about propaganda.

Just one thing is missing, once our wealth fully return to the east as is being champion vigourously at the moment, Gameover!!!

I think IPOB will make that return wealth to the east pretty difficult.

I don't think so. On contrary, their message and the "quit notice" gaffe from the north in 2017 did the trick. They forced the north to play their last card and all disbelieving Igbos in diaspora got the message.

Igbos are doing a quiet reality check. The mad real estate boom in the east is a typical example.

What we need is for our governors down here to do their job. Ignore the federal government and provide infrastructure to support growth in the east.

Ipob could be contained if Igbo leaders show true leadership and put Igbo interest first.
