6 months after commissioning, Nigerian airlines avoid Ebonyi airport built for N36 billion

Six months after the commissioning of Ebonyi Airport, it has come to light that no Nigerian airline has ventured into the route with commercial passengers.

Checks and investigations suggest that Ebonyi Airport may not be a viable route for airlines, which is why no airline has attempted to operate there. Experts say the economic condition may limit the potential demand for air travel services, making it unattractive for airlines to operate there. Analysts have argued that the billions of naira used to build the airport could have been better utilised to develop rice mills, creating employment opportunities for Ebonyi’s enormous population of unemployed individuals.
