Anambra airport a waste Wonder how you people talk at times

Airport that it’s activities involves both day and night flights with best landing systems

Enugu, Imo and of course Asaba should close their airports because Anambra own is the most needed airport in southeast region

Anambra will need another airport, latest before 15years from now
Your brain needs to be examined. You want them to close their airports for Anambra airport? What then should the airports be used for? Cattle rearing? Anambra shouldn't have ventured into airport business since all those airports were already there. Asaba airport should serve Anambra people.

not even a drone has used this one in the past two months. Why borrow to build dormant airports and be struggling with repayment?

It is becoming glaringly clear that Umahi borrowed and wasted billions of naira on an airport that all analysts proved wasn’t going to be viable. Today it is now clear to everyone that umahi wasted borrowed billions on ego trip project when most ebonyi people are poor, uneducated and hawking almost everywhere in Nigeria.

Poverty rate in ebonyi is over 80%. when the idea of the airport was first muted, some analysts advised that umahi should use the said funds for the project and invest heavily in human resource development and education, but he shoved it aside, today no Nigerian airline want to fly to ebonyi simply because it is a very unviable route for airlines.

What do you suggest for the present administration in ebonyi state as regards to the abandoned airport?

Same thing I said on another thread. Some people abused me. Airports being built by these governors are just to embezzle money from the construction contracts. Enugu airport is just 1 hour 30 mins away without traffic
It's less than 1 hour 30mins sef.

Bro, it's common knowledge, ebonyi and Enugu is 30minutes apart, Enugu is adjudged as international airport, based on the closeness, there shouldn't be an airport, there's no major trade area in ebonyi etc. That billions should have gone into other things...
we still don’t want to use enugu airport. Thanks

This airport is collossal arguable the biggest airport in the country. it's potential to boost the economy of zebonyi and the region should not be underestimated .

It is on par with Lagos and Abuja airports and it is just a matter of time before it becomes the airport of choice for the entire South of Nigeria.

What is in Ebonyi state that people will be flying to?

If you call it monumental waste of public resources, they will say you're hating.

But isn't this "airport" a waste of scarce resources? I don't know when airports became standards for measuring a developed state when the human capital development in terms of investment in education, health, agriculture and trade is deficit.
Same with Ekiti and Ogun airport that has been commissioned

It should be turned into a shopping mall....the proximity of the airport to that of enugu is close and I don't think Ebonyi state people like flying. The project was a waste of money right from the planning stage

some of those people complaining are Igbo people who don’t like Dave Umahi and want to pull his name down. Notice the lamentation started the day he was nominated a minister?
Re: Ebonyi Airport: Two Months Gone, No Airline Has Landed There: Pictures by rickleye: 8:13pm On Jul 27, 2023
How can a single person get approval from the state House of Representatives without any visibility studies that the airport is needed. It’s not that you build an airport in 6 months.

Now besides that are you saying that the airport cannot serve any domestic flights from Lagos to Ebonyi or Lagos to Abuja ?

There must be something else delaying its commencement.

THERE IS STILL WORK GOING ON THERE.


THE AIRPORT WAS NOT COMPLETED YET.


THE REAL OPENING WILL BE THIS DECEMBER, WITH INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS.



IGBO ARE NOT GOING TO LAGOS OR PORT HARCOURT.




IF ENUGU IS NOT READY, WE USE EBONYI AND ANAMBRA.



BOTH ANAMBRA AND EBONYI WILL BE VERY BUSY
Bros, the point is that the airport is not commecially feasible. If it is not, airlines will not go there.
Anyway, on a positive note, maybe the state will buy aircrafts and charge people free, or finance eg 100 seater aircraft's flying eg 10% capacity.
As for anambra airport, that state is a commercial hub, an example of a viable airport.

That's what happens when you mingle with failures.

Umahi was a close ally to a failure in the name of Buhari and the failure rubbed off on him.
