Enugu Air will launch direct international flights between Enugu, Nigeria, and Douala, Cameroon, on Wednesday, September 23, as part of efforts to strengthen regional air connectivity.
The airline’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr Ugonna Agubuokwu, announced the development in a statement issued on Sunday in Lagos.
Agubuokwu said the Enugu-Douala service would operate twice weekly, on Mondays and Wednesdays, providing easier travel for businesses, families and other passengers between Nigeria and Cameroon.
According to him, passengers travelling from Lagos and Abuja will also be able to connect to Douala through Enugu.
“This is more than the introduction of a new route. It is about creating stronger connections between Nigeria and Cameroon,” Agubuokwu said.
Under the schedule, flights will depart Enugu at 12:45 p.m. and arrive in Douala at 1:45 p.m. Return flights will leave Douala at 2:30 p.m. and arrive in Enugu at 3:30 p.m.
Agubuokwu said the timetable was designed to provide convenient connections for passengers travelling from Lagos and Abuja.
