Enugu launches its air fleet, Enugu Air, on Monday 7 July 2025.

Ohibaba.com gathered that Enugu Airline begins domestic flights with three aircrafts fleet connecting Enugu, Abuja and Lagos and subsequently extending to Port-Harcourt, Owerri, Benin, Kano and other cities across Nigeria and beyond.

Speaking during the launch of the aircrafts, Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu declared that Enugu Air, the newly launched state-owned airline, is not a government initiative for prestige but a people-driven project aimed at empowering traders, students, investors, and everyday travellers.

Mbah emphasised that the airline was conceived to serve the real economic and mobility needs of the people.

He said, “Enugu Air does not belong to the government. It belongs to the people of Enugu State, the traders, students, investors, and travellers who will use it.”

He emphasized : “It belongs to the new generation who will look back and say, ‘That was when we chose to compete.’ So, let us not treat this as a mere ceremonial ribbon-cutting, but as the start of a new standard—a standard for infrastructure that serves the people, a standard for leadership that builds lasting institutions, not just temporary applause, and a standard for public-private cooperation that delivers real value.”
