The just inaugurated Anambra Cargo Airport has recorded 142 flights with 3,865 passengers landing and taking off from the airport within one month of operation.
The airport was opened for commercial services on Dec. 7 last year.
The Anambra Commissioner for Works, Mr. Marcel Ifejiofor, made this disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday, January 9, 2022.
He commented that although the flight and passenger figures surpassed projections when compared with the airport’s contemporaries, it would have been more if additional airlines were using the airport.
So far, only Air Peace and United Nigeria Airlines are landing and taking off at the Anambra Airport.
Ifejiofor, who is also the head of the Anambra State Airport Project Committee, said the airport contributed significantly to easing passenger traffic during the yuletide.
“Anambra Airport is a hub, there is no place you can’t go to in Nigeria from Anambra State. We are just scratching the surface in terms of activities that will take place here.”
