Chuba Okadigbo International Airport To Begin Full Fight Operation In May 2024
The Ebonyi State Government on Thursday said that the Chuba Okadigbo’s International Airport, Onueke will commence full flight operation by May 2024 after the completion of the asphalt laying of the runway.
The State Commissioner for Aviation and Transport Technology, Mrs. Ngozi Obichukwu, disclosed this at the Presidential Lounge of the airport during an inspection of the Airport Runway.
She noted that the asphalting of the runway will soon be completed by the contractor.
She said, “We are making sure that the airways are safe, and the transporters that are using flight are equally safe. We commenced operations but we had a little challenge on the runway, where the airlines land and take off.
“We discovered that the runway needed to be asphalted because the flight does not require the concrete that we used.
“That’s why the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, requested us to change the runway pattern from concrete to asphalt. And the runway is being asphalted now. The governor is desirous to put the airport to perfect use and to make sure that Ebonyi is on the world map of travellers.
