Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, will officially launch the Enugu State government-owned commercial airline, Enugu Air, on Monday, July 7, 2025.
The launch ceremony will take place at the Akanu Ibiam
International Airport.
This is according to a recent statement from the airline.
The airline will begin operations with a fleet of three
Embraer jets from the E170 and E190 series, chosen for their performance,
passenger comfort, and suitability for regional routes.
Commenting on the development, the Commissioner for
Transportation, Enugu State, Dr. Obi Ozor, said Enugu Air is pivotal to
Governor Peter Mbah’s vision for positioning Enugu State as a major aviation
hub in Nigeria.
“With a strong foundation built on innovation and
sustainability, Enugu Air is poised to transform regional air travel, boost
state pride, and raise Enugu’s profile nationally and globally,” he said.
The domestic airline announced that its inaugural routes
will be Abuja and Lagos, with plans to expand services to Port Harcourt,
Owerri, Benin, Kano, and other key locations in Nigeria.
