Ethiopian Airlines returns to Enugu on October first
Africa’s largest carrier, Ethiopian Airlines will be resuming its flight to Enugu, the eastern heartland of Nigeria, on the 1st of October, 2021.
The airline said the 3 times a week flight will be operated with B787 Dreamliner on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
October 1 is Nigeria’s Independence day and the flight to Enugu on that day will reinforce Ethiopian Airlines’ good relationship with Nigeria since the first flight to Nigeria in 1960.
Ethiopian Airlines stopped flights to Enugu in 2019 when the Nigerian Aviation Authorities closed the airport to refurbish the airport runway.
Before the closure of the airport for runway repairs, Ethiopian was the only international airline operating into Enugu.
The airport was officially opened to domestic flights in 2020 and to international flights in August 2021. Enugu is the capital of Enugu State and was the centre of administration in former Eastern Nigeria.
Ethiopian Airlines flies to four airports in Nigeria, Abuja, Lagos, Kano, and Enugu.
