Anambrs international airport has ILS and CAT2 lighting , enugu airport runway doesn't have lights at all . Anambra airport has longer and wider runway than enugu airport. Anambra international airport has water treatment plant, tallest control tower, aviobridges, etc, while tanker water supply is still the main source of water supply at enugu airport. Very soon air France, lufthanza and even Ethiopia airline will open in Anambra international airport.



NuclearWinter:

Those airports you mentioned are mere landing strips which do not even have runway lightning in place talk more of sophisticated landing aids.
No international airline can land on these runway strips even in an emergency owing to their insurance clauses that permit them to operate only in Category A airports.
So until they put the right ILS systems in place and improve on security and get an upgrade from NCAA and ICAOO , no single international airliner will land or operate from there.
Kano Airport on the other hand has all the infrastructure, but western airlines have been banned by their insurance from operating I'm and out of Kano over security threats from radical Islamist groups. So you won't find one single western Airline operating in and out of Kano but only middle eastern, Turkish airlines

This is good news, we even forgot the airport had international flights after than evil closure by Buhari and his evil dwarves.

Ethiopia Air, here we come. Sharpen that route to Barcelona and Madrid. I think I what to checkout the Mystery of Granada, Oh, the magnificient Alhambra is Calling!!!!!

Anambra airport is of more international standard compared to enugu airport, because Anambra international airport has better facilities like longer runway, ILS/CAT2 runway lights, tallest control tower, water treatment plant, etc, Enugu airport doesn't even have constant water supply except for tanker water supply.

Ykc2:
anambra Airport it not international airport I don't know what you guys takes international airport for,even muritala Mohammed airport is ok as in international airport but inside the airport, is one of the worst in the world
Re: Use Enugu Airport For International Travel - Ethiopian Airlines To S-Easterners by 1east: 1:26pm On Aug 16, 2022
Enugu airport is a mere motorpark that should be closed so that enugu people should start using ebonyi airport. Anambra international airport is the only truly international airport in SE.

koning:

Utter bunkum. The Umueri airport is for CKD Parts and occassional charter flight. No more, no less. Ebonyi does not need an airport at all. They should used the money to dualise Enugu - Abakiliki express road.

It's quite pathetic to think there isn't a thriving business community in Enugu. All your life is dependent on Lagos, that's why you think Nigeria starts in Ikeja and ends in Lekki Phase one. You think your father's backyard is the only viable business environment?

Enugu has no economy. Poverty rate in enugu is above national average

This comparison is not necessary, they are all in the east. Tell Soludo to market the Airport to airlines. For now Enugu has an active airline, which we are happy to use.

In future, Airlines will sweep both airports with the same aircrafts before heading off. So nothing to loose. They will also land in one and terminate in other.

You are very wrong on Lagos and Tinubu. London and UK or Jo'burg and SA can never be compared to the situation of Lagos, even Cairo to Egypt cannot be compared to situation of Lagos. I have explained this severally. Other people have explained it severally.

Lagos Island as British Colony have nothing to do with Lagos development. There are periods Calabar was Capital. There are periods the British use Lokoja and Asaba as administrative headquarters. As at 1998 before the death of Abacha Lagos was Caracas of a city, a skeleton of a working corpse. Everything is almost dead.

You said Obj close port in 2000s. Which ports did Obj close in 2000s? As at 1998 Lagos Tincan Port and Apapa port were dead. May be 2 ships in a month. Tin can and Apapa virtually empty. In fact, you can play football matches at Tincan and Apapa ports. No activity at all. It was when Obj came and there was explosion of activities that everything changed at port.

Obasanjo as President out of Prison said Lagos is a Jungle and that no sane human being live in jungle. Tinubu converted Jungle to a mega city.

Ojora develop? Iju develop, fagba develop? Coconut develop? Alakija, obawole, igando, Egon, Ajah, Sangotedo, lekki etc, make I Dey mention,

Obj close all other state port and open Lagos for operation which make Lagos multiply, our sweet warri that year, no bubble like before again, as npa shut down,

Lagos remain the commercial city to Nigeria, as London is to England, Johannesburg to SOUTHY, New York to America, argue with the gods. Every nation have a major financial capital city. Argue with the gods.

Lagos was a capital for close to 40 years, calabar no even reach

After the chiefs of Duke Town accepted British protection in 1884, the town, which was called Old Calabar until 1904, served as capital of the Oil Rivers Protectorate (1885–93), the Niger Coast Protectorate (1893–1900), and Southern Nigeria (1900–06) until the British administrative headquarters were moved to Lagos.

Lagos na national mainstream, e Dey different from other states, as Dubai is to UAE. The first obas of Lagos were benin, oba eweka son. Na why that Lagos king dey use oba instead of the other name.

Anambra international airport is the most suitable to take international flights in SE because it has longer runway than enugu airport, has taller control tower than enugu airport, has water treatment plant and enugu airport doesn't have, has zieglar tenders, aviobridge, carousels that enugu airport doesn't have. I can go on and on.

Liar again

I have people who work in Anambra airport and up till this moment , there is no runway lightning, localizer beacon, VOR or glideslope .

The airport is categorised for VFR (Visual flight Rules) flights only owing to lack of these critical equipment listed.

It is at best a landing strip with a terminal hall.

Stop your lies.


Enugu airport is the only airport fully upgraded to handle international flights of limited specification.

Anambra airport remains a landing strip.

The federal Govt. Suspended flight from Enugu, in a clandestine move to discourage the budding international hub.

The bottom line is we must all return to patronize our airport for international flights to defeat the cladestine agenda. Strong international flight demand in Enugu, will benefit Anambra airport whenever it gets airlines. I am almost sure Ethiopia Airline will be the first to start flying from Aguleri, with the same air plane mopping up Enugu aswell.


As for now Soludo he is busy chasing Ipob, instead of these economic tasks waiting for him.

I am from enugu state, enugu awkunanaw to be precise.

The truth is that Anambra international airport benefits the SE because it is the only truly international airport of international standards in the region.

The reason enugu airport doesn't have traffic is because of low or non existent facilities unlike Anambra international airport that has all the needed facilities and has gotten so fast in growing its passenger traffic.

Ugwuanyi is busy eating semo and onugbu instead of growing the economy of enugu to attract air traffic in enugu airport, even though the airport is more or less a local one considering the dearth of facilities there.

GerogeI:

Everthing is not a competition.

Only God in heaven can save u people.

This is the reason y the region is not moving forward, no planning no nothing just to be talking anyhow without facts.

U guys complain that in the SE there’s no international airport they created one, u people are happy there’s one but u abandon it to use airports from other regions.

They are complaining and this is ur reply.

Even the anambra airport since the creation what milestone has it broken?

What will happen based on the proliferation of airports all over the east is 5 airports with none of them being viable
