Akanu Ibiam International Airport, popularly known as Enugu Airport, serves the vibrant city of Enugu, which is the capital of Enugu State in Nigeria. Enugu holds the nickname of the ‘coal city,’ reflecting its historical significance as a prominent center of the coal mining industry. The airport not only caters to Enugu but also facilitates connectivity for nearby cities such as Abakaliki, Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, Afikpo, Okigwe, Nsukka, Ugep, Orlu, Idah, Otukpo, and Ogoja, thus serving as an essential transportation hub for the region.
The airport is named in honor of the late Akanu Ibiam (1906–1995), a distinguished medical practitioner and statesman from Afikpo in Ebonyi State. This recognition pays tribute to his contributions and achievements.
In February 2010, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) made the decision to temporarily close the airport to commence significant renovation and expansion works during the first phase of the project. After undergoing extensive improvements, Akanu Ibiam International Airport reopened its doors on December 16, 2010, marking the completion of the initial phase of construction. However, subsequent phases of the development, aimed at further enhancing the airport’s facilities, are still ongoing. These ongoing improvements are in line with the airport’s preparations to attain its new status as an international airport, expanding its capabilities and increasing its capacity to handle international flights.
Enugu remains a vital center of political, cultural, commercial, and administrative influence in the southeastern part of Nigeria. Akanu Ibiam International Airport serves as a crucial gateway to the region, promoting regional development, and economic growth, thanks to its strategic location and continuous improvements.
