4,000 Flights, 250,000 engers Recorded At Chinua Achebe Airport In Anambra State Since Commercial Operations Started In December 2021

No fewer than 250,000 engers have ed through the Chinua Achebe Airport, formerly Anambra enger and Cargo Airport, Umueri, since it was inaugurated for commercial operations in Dec. 2021.

Martins Nwafor, Managing Director of Chinua Achebe Airport, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Umueri on Tuesday.

Nwafor said about 4,000 airlifts had ed through the airport with an average of six flights per day.

He said the first four months had low activity as it was the route building period.

He said the airport had two major flight operators using the airport on full scheduled commercial operations with a number of private operators.

The Managing Director said the Chinua Achebe Airport was ready for increased traffic during the Yuletide season, saying that services would be both day and night.

Nwafor said compared with the peers of the airport and considering how young it was in the industry, the airport was not faring badly

“We started operations here on Dec. 7, 2021, that is about one year and 11 months and so far, we have had 4,000 flights with about 250,000 engers ing through this airport.

“We are still working to improve our services, we hope that engers will increase and that will lead to more airline companies coming down here.

“The Chinua Achebe Airport is ready for the yuletide, our services will be available for both day and night operations and we have about 76 airport taxi operators who have been screened by the DSS, so safety of engers is guaranteed,” he said.

Nwafor said air transport remained the most economical way to travel considering the safety, speed and comfort it gives to enger

According to him, air transport is not elitist, when you consider the condition of our roads, the safety environment and how they affect businesses negatively, you will realise that additional cost to travel by air is far less than its numerous benefits,” he said. (NAN).

Watch Chinue Achebe international airport Anambra state

That's a very viable airport , that will continue to improve in all activities.
Not like the ones done in Ebonyi, and Ogun States, that have no economical value.
Obiano did well on this.

Lol

The region they want to keep down so badly.

I’m sure Anambra Airport will already be busier than Kano Airport at this rate.

Meanwhile, can we see Oyo traffic?

Can we Ondo traffic?

Can we see Osogbo traffic?

Buffoonss will come start foaming in the mouth and say “Lagos”.

But Lagos traffic is generated by the entire country and the entire world.

Allow International flights to start flying from Enugu or Anambra and you see traffic in Lagos and Abuja reduce drastically.

The Land of the Rising Sun is too blessed.

Trying to keep us down has proven a worthless venture since time immemorial.

Only fools will continue trying

Anambra the small China in Nigeria

This Airport was built with money saved by a frugal governor, Peter Obi

Now let's imagine how many state projects that our governors have eaten the money

Imagine if PO was spending recklessly, driving on long convoys, flying private jets, lodging in expensive hotels, drinking champagne and killing 2 cows daily in the government house just as they wanted him to, maybe by now, Anambra state won't even dream of having an airport let alone flying 250k engers.

This is a lesson to every state governor, most of you have eaten your factories, airports, scholarships, poverty reduction, world-class school facilities, etc...

Let's stop the wasteful spending...

Good one.

Let it continue,more money to the bank.

Nice one.




God bless Igbo land and all those that love it.

Great achievement. No need for chest beating. A lion will always be a lion.

Good one from Anambra State

It is not by mouth or bragging, the truth is that Anambra can grow faster than Lagos if given one quarter of the opportunity and privileges given to Lagos. They know this, that's why they keep fighting any good thing that comes from southeast.

I guess this is good news compared to that of Ebonyi

You talk too much in your video. Go straight to the point and stop schooling your viewers because you are not really a good teacher from the way you sound. So cut the crap and shoot a good video without much talks.

That’s good and how many minutes drive from Umueri to Onitsha

Corruption is killing this country. Peter Obi is a man that would have set the pace for a new type of governance in Nigeria. But tribalism will not let this country develop.
