An Enugu-based billionaire
businessman, Prince Engr. Arthur Eze, had on Tuesday flown into the Enugu
airport in a private jet direct from Senegal, creating history as the first
international flight that touched down at the upgraded airport.
President Goodluck Jonathan gave
approval for the upgrading of the Akanu Ibiam Airport to an international
status two years ago and laid the foundation for the construction of the
international wing early this year. The project is now on course
while other existing structures within the airport including the old terminal
complex had been renovated.
The runway was expanded and extended
to accommodate bigger passenger and cargo aircrafts that would patronize the airport.
