The Ebonyi State Government said Wednesday that it has received authorisation from the Federal Government to conduct an initial test flight at the new Onueke International Airport.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s name was given to the airport.

Mrs. Obianuju Alo, the Senor Special Assistant to Governor David Umahi on Aviation and Technology, told reporters in Abakaliki that the inauguration will stimulate economic activity in the state, particularly given the airport’s location.

“We will have two flights landing at the airport, one from Abuja and one from Lagos,” she explained. Following that, two planes per week will arrive from Abuja and Lagos. What this means is that, with the opening of the airport, Ebonyi state is now open for business.

“We want to encourage all Ebonyians and investors to come to Ebonyi and do their business. Ebonyi will now start exporting agricultural products to the entire world.
