United Nigeria Airlines in a statement yesterday, informed the flying public that all its flights to and fro Enugu Airport would temporarily operate in and out of Chinua Achebe Airport, Anambra State pending the completion of the repair works and the reopening of the Enugu Airport.

The airline said the proactive adjustment is aimed at minimising disruptions to travel plans while maintaining commitment to safety, comfort and service delivery.

Earlier, Air Peace airline said that all flights scheduled into and out of Enugu will now be operated from Asaba.

Recall that FAAN on Saturday said it will shut down Enugu airport to allow for essential runway maintenance works.

The authority said the airport would be temporarily closed from April 22nd to May 6th, 2025, during the repairs.

In a statement by FAAN on Saturday, it explained that there is a sudden and significant rupture in the asphalt surface at a critical section of the runway. Hence, emergency repairs will be conducted on that portion of the runway from April 22nd to May 6th, 2025.

“In compliance with Nigerian civil aviation regulations, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has, therefore, closed the runway during this period.

 

“As part of FAAN’s commitment to passenger safety and the modernisation of airport facilities, the runway will not be open for landings or takeoffs during the rehabilitation period.

 

“FAAN appeals to all airport users and stakeholders for their understanding and cooperation during this time. All flights to this airport will be diverted to nearby airports,” FAAN stated.

 

The authority apologised for the late and unexpected notice regarding this closure.

 

Ibom Air in a statement said it will reach out to all passengers already booked on affected flights, adding that in the meantime, passengers may explore alternative travel options via our desks at Lagos, Abuja or Enugu airports.
