First Cargo Airline Lands in Enugu International Airport

Cargo Airline

History was made Tuesday, 23rd of August, as the first ever cargo (goods-carrying) aircraft landed successfully in the Akanu Ibiam international airport. This is the first ever cargo airline to land anywhere in the south-eastern part of the country.

Speaking shortly at the event to witness the landing, the state governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, commended all those who put in their efforts  including those in the federal government like Senator Ike Ekweremmadu, who put in their constituency funds, not forgetting those in the aviation sector who also did their best to ensure that this was a success. He went further to say that this will boost the business activities in the state and also trickle down to making the economy of the state and the south-east in general better.

For most of us here who do mini importation or the full-blown type, this development is a right step in the right direction as many bottlenecks facing importation and exportation will be greatly reduced.

It takes a lot to bring in goods from Lagos or the North were cargo airlines always landed before. Customs and other law enforcement agents on the roads during the conveyance of the goods and all these increases the cost of conveying the goods from the ports where they landed to the points where they are actually needed in the country.

This is great news for all of us.
