The management of Ethiopian Airlines has called on South
Easterners to make use of the Akanu-Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, for
overseas travel, instead of going to Lagos or Abuja to board flights.
Speaking to journalists briefly after moving around the
major streets of Enugu metropolis to create awareness and sensitise the public,
the Traffic and Sales Manager of the company, Henok Sirak, said that there is a
flat rate for international flight tickets for Enugu, Abuja, and Lagos
airports.
He said the awareness was to increase the number of
international passengers from Enugu Terminal.
“We organised this awareness to meet our target in Enugu.
Since it was made an international airport, we have been flying three times a
week but we are going to fly four times a week — Wednesdays, Fridays,
Saturdays, and Sundays.
“People of Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Port-Harcourt, Imo, and
Abia can now fly and cargo their import and export from Akanu-Ibiam
International Airport, Enugu to over 125 destinations and routes in over five
continents including, Asia, Africa, South America, North America, and Europe.
We give full-fledged passenger-cargo service.
“We have the same price for flights leaving from Lagos,
Abuja, and Enugu. So, the passenger traveling from Enugu don’t need to bother
traveling to Abuja and Lagos since the price is the same. That’s the advantage
we give to the people of the South East and Port-Harcourt. We have adjusted the
price so that passengers can get the benefits of using Enugu airport.
“Finally, I am appealing to all the South Easterners
traveling to use Ethiopian Airlines and fly from Enugu to any part of the
world. We are operating with a modern aircraft. we are currently using Boeing
707.”
