The management of Ibom Air has announced the resumption of flight operations to the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
It would be recalled that the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, was shut one month ago by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to enable maintenance works to be carried out on the airport’s runway.
This decision was made to ensure passenger safety and the modernisation of facilities at the airport.
A statement signed by the Manager Communications of Ibom Air, Anie Essienette and made available to journalists in Uyo, on Tuesday, disclosed that the airline will resume flight operations to the Enugu airport from May 4, 2025.
The statement reads: “Following the reopening of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Ibom Air is pleased to announce the resumption of its flight operations to and from Enugu, effective Sunday, May 4, 2025.
