The much-anticipated airline project by the Enugu State Government, Enugu Air, is set to become operational before the end of March, 2025.
Governor Peter Mbah shared this news while meeting with a team of filmmakers working on a movie project set in the State.
Governor Mbah explained that his administration is acutely aware of the challenges travelers face when flying into Enugu from various locations, noting that launching a State-owned airline is a strategic solution to address these difficulties and improve air travel access to and from the Coal city State.
He noted that Enugu Air, along with several other projects across multiple sectors, is part of a broader initiative to revitalize the State’s economy, including the entertainment industry and other previously thriving sectors.
On the filmmakers’ project, the Governor observed that Enugu has long been a hub for the movie industry.
He stated that now is the time for the State to begin making significant investments in the sector, a process which he announced has already begun.
