International flights will resume at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu on Saturday, October nineth.
Ethiopian, the lone passenger airliner on the route, recently opened its portal for bookings from October first, but the flight was interrupted because of the sit-at-home call by the Indigenous People of Biafra in the South East region.
An aviation staffer at the airport said the absence of the international flights in the facility has continued to affect businesses including revenue generation by the government agencies.
The shift in resumption of international flights at the Akanu Ibiam Airport Enugu, adds to the economic losses recorded by businesses in the South East due to the frequent sit-at-home orders.
Authorities suspended all flights and shut down the Akanu Ibiam International Airport on August twenty-fourth 2019, precisely six years after Ethiopian Airlines commenced direct flights to and from the airport in Enugu.
The shutdown followed public outcry over its dilapidated runway, but President Muhammadu Buhari approved ten billion naira requested by Ministry of Aviation officials to rehabilitate the airport.
