The Executive Governor of Enugu State His Excellency Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah revealed that Enugu State will be launching Enugu Air in a few weeks.
He made the revelation during his budget presentation at the Enugu State House of Assembly where he presented 2025 budget. He noted that Enugu Air will be launched in a few weeks which means that Enugu people and Nigerians anticipate the airline to be launched soon, especially for the upcoming festival period of Yuletide and New Year celebration.
The successful launch of Enugu Air will allow Enugu State to join other States like Akwa Ibom State as States that own operational airlines in Nigeria flying domestically. This is a monumental move by the Enugu State Government, led by Governor Peter Mbah.
Some social media users that reacted to the news have reservations about the Enugu Air announcement by the Governor as some said that there are other investments that the State government should have gone into instead of investing in the airline while others saw the Enugu Air as a welcome development.
The Governor of Enugu State did not specify the date that the Enugu Air will be launched but he said in a few weeks time.
Many people who got excited about Enugu Air said that since Ibom Air is a success, Enugu Air will be a success too.
Fingers are crossed in anticipation of the launching of the Enugu Air as announced by Enugu State Governor which came with a resounding applause during the 2025 budget presentation at Enugu State House of Assembly.
