Enugu Air, an Enugu-state owned commercial airline will launch on Monday, July 7, 2025.
A statement released by the state government on Thursday revealed this.
The state government said Enugu Air is part of Governor Peter Mbah Administration’s blueprint for a modern and multimodal transport ecosystem and to make Enugu a major aviation hub.
The statement signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Obi Ozor, says the launch will take place at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport.
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, will be the Special Guest of Honour, among other dignitaries.
“Enugu Air will take off with an initial fleet of three Embraer aircraft, E170 and E190 series, selected for their efficiency, comfort, and adaptability to the regional market.
“The inaugural routes will establish a ‘golden triangle’ with Enugu at its core, connecting Abuja and Lagos and subsequently extending to Port Harcourt, Owerri, Benin, Kano, and other strategic cities across Nigeria and beyond.
“With a strong foundation of innovation and sustainability, we are ready to redefine air travel, instill pride, and elevate Enugu’s prominence on the national and global stage.
“Let the countdown begin—Enugu Air is ready for takeoff,” Ozor said.
