Enugu Airport Concession Spurs Transformation Expectations Amid Passenger Complaints
The Nigerian government's concession of Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu to Aero Alliance Limited has raised expectations for a transformative overhaul of the airport's infrastructure and management. Concerns have been raised about the hostile behavior of Nigerian Customs Service officials towards passengers, affecting international travel experiences.
Investigations revealed incidents where passengers faced challenges, such as excessive passport checks and demands for money. Stakeholders emphasize the need for improved facilities and management at Enugu Airport, citing the underutilization of existing infrastructure compared to other airports like Asaba and Osubi.
Former senior officials from the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) highlighted the need for upgrades, including enhanced fire coverage, water supply, and completion of the international terminal.
