Enugu Airport will reopen before Easter – Sirika
South Easterners have been assured that the Enugu airport runway would be completed before the next Easter celebration.
The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, said this while inspecting works at the airport. He said the completion of the runway will pave the way for the opening of the airport for flight operations.
He noted that because of the strategic importance of the airport to the South-Eastern region, the Federal Government carefully contracted the project to a reputable construction company (Messrs PW Ltd), which has given assurance that the project will be completed before Easter.
Stating that the new international terminal being constructed at the airport will also be completed before the end of the year, Sirika noted that Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), Air Field Lightning (AFL), Taxi lights and other key deliverables are also parts of the project.
