Stop deceiving people. That terminal cannot handle 1m talk less 7m. You keep talking of runway like someone that lacks knowledge of how an airport works. What matters for CAPACITY is how many access exit gates, apron size, number of baggage carousel, number of check in desks at departure hall.

Lagos MMIA sees around 100 flights per day. It has 6 access gates via aerobridges. It has 31 check-in counters, 3 baggage carousels. It was built in 1979. It was built to handle 5m passengers.

This is a small airport by sqm. The entire building is around 3,000 sqm or THREE TIMES smaller than Onitsha Mall. The arrival hall is probably the same size as the Shoprite supermarket in Onitsha Mall where just 100 people paying for goods creates lots of congestion for cashiers and shoppers alike.

Gov. Wille Obiano is truly a magician!!! How did he get the money for such world class project?
Obiano is finally bequeathing Anambra with one the best airports in West Africa!

Everything from the access roads, Main Airport gate, runway, taxiway, car parks, fire stations, Emergency medical clinics, 2 level terminal building, Water supply station, mini power station was well thought out!!! With more space for future expansion and development!

The official airport January 2021 Status Update video released by the state government! O'lboy, this is indeed a massive project. Everything is done at the best international standard!!!

Anambra finally has a true international airport to facilitate trade and commerce without depending on the whims and caprices of others!
I am hoping the begin planting trees, flowers and grass now around areas that no further construction is needed. Also they need beautiful trees and flowers along the main airport road all the way to the parking lots to give it the best ambiance possible!

Are you not impressed on what you saw?
Are you not happy that work has reached advanced stage.

Abeg free I no get your time this morning abeg

I can only imagine how much land along this access road costs now!

Please Government should ensure the land is reserved for 5 star hotels, shopping malls, amusement parks and other tourist entertainment that will help boost other facilities around the airport.

There should be NO market or eyesore type of building along that brand new road.

OreMI22:
Totally agree. The airport access road should be treated as special economic zones to ensure rascal don't begin to build ramshackle lockup shops and begin using the road to park broken down trailers and trucks.

The state town planning board should apply the same strictness seen in Awka Millennium city to the types and specification of buildings along that road. Also to make sure the idea of building fences and building almost on the water channel gutters isn't allowed. All fences must be the approved types and at least 15 meters from the gutters so that the areas before the fences are used for beautification of the thoroughfare with flowers and trees.

ANSMEDIA:
With this international gateway. Anambra is now a global city-state. This is mind blowing.

mktinsight:
Was not wrong after all. 5:39 of the video it says the terminal can handle at most 400 passengers or basically 1 flight at a time or 1 departing flight every 2 hours. So it's a small terminal and will be a money loser.

From the looks of it the airport will not be ready before 2022 at best and most likely 2023. Definitely not April 2021 unless they are hosting humanitarian flights that don't need a terminal.

Only good thing about the airport is the location but there needs to be a flyover to access it coming from Onitsha and to exit towards Awka which is not shown in the pics.

When I sing praises for Obiano I was called a psychophant, now what Peter Obi and his gladiators can not envisage of achieving, his predecessor has outperformed him...thank you Obiano...

Secondly I noticed nothing was said about the oil and gas, or aviation fuel dump, I hope it still happening..

Thirdly who has been following the River port concessioning? FG super trick stars.. ...I pity those who sing praises to them...

AlaIgboRepublic:
Fantastic project. Well done to Obiano. No one is perfect but this has made him achieve more than any state governor from Anambra. The bar is set high. The next governor needs to build world class aviation school in the area of airport amd has to deliver at least another legacy project such as rail. We are on the move. This will ignite economic boom. We need world class roads and beautification of enviroment. The next Governor has a lot of work to do. This job must be for someone who is visionary.

Those saying the terminal building is small, don't know what they are saying. This airport's terminal building is already bigger than the Banjul International airport terminal. If the place is efficient, in processing arrivals and departures, it will never be crowded. One huge mistake i hope they will also avoid is placing the car park too close to the terminal building like at the Enugu Intl. airport.

I hate many Nigerian airports because as soon as you exit the terminal building, you are already on the airport VIP route, so close to the public car park with mad drivers blaring horns and harassing the new arrivals with their cars. It always makes Nigeria look like the land of mad people to a new visitor Nigeria from sane countries.

I noticed Asaba airport was an exception to this rule of car parks placed so close to the terminal building. In Asaba, they placed their car park a little distance from the terminal and blocked the VIP car route so that taxis are forced to park in the car park at all times, not along the VIP airport route as in many Nigerian airports.

Again, I really enjoyed a trip to Banjul, Gambia. This airport terminal was small but decent and efficient. Most importantly, one great ambiance in Banjul is that once you exit their terminal building, you walk about 75 meters of well manicured flower walkway before you get to the VIP car route. Then walk about 100 meters to the car park! Nairobi airport also has a similar distance to the public car park. This distance of the terminal building from the public car park makes the terminal calm with a unique tranquility even when there is maddening blaring of horns and chaos of a typical African airport car park. I hope that this is considered in how close the car park is placed to the terminal building at Anambra International airport.

[s]Shut the ffuck up, you ppiece of dogshhit!!

Stop calling Obi's name unnecessarily. People like you shhould be beheadedd for your fhoolishness.[/s]

mktinsight:
[s]Banjul, Gambia is the capital city of a country with a tiny population of 2 million.But It has embassies, multinationals and tourism relations with many countries and so the airport is international by default.

Anambra needs to put in the work to attract lots of traffic to the airport. One good thing about the airport is that it is midway between Onitsha and Awka. The ANSG has to use the ICC in Awka to host big trade conventions, attract business, professionals and scholars to the state. It should also try to do what Israel does for diaspora and attract its children back for a one year cultural immersion program and what Ghana does for African American diaspora and encourage travel and investment to this group.[/s]
