Enugu airport: FG announces reopening date
The Nigerian government has announced that Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu State will reopen for flight operations on Monday.
The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Obiageli Orah, announced this in a statement on Saturday.
Recall that the authorities of FAAN temporarily shut down the airport on 19 April to enable urgent repairs on a damaged part of the runway.
FAAN said the emergency repairs would be conducted on the portion of the runway from 22 April to 6 May and normal operations will be halted within the period.
Meanwhile, Orah said in the Saturday statement that the airport will now be reopened on Monday following the completion of emergency runway repairs.
“The work was scheduled to begin on April 22nd and conclude before reopening on May 6th, 2025. However, rehabilitation works on the runway have been completed, and the runway is cleared for landings and takeoffs by the engineers working with FAAN,” she said.
“The authority sincerely apologises for the inconvenience but assures the public that all actions were taken in the interest of safety,” she added.
