Don’t let bureaucracy kill Enugu Air – Keyamo tells Gov Mbah
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has urged Enugu State Government and airlines management not to allow bureaucracy destroy the state airline.
Keyamo gave this advice on Monday at the inauguration of Enugu Air, calling for its effective management and sustainability.
DAILY POST reports that the three aircraft were acquired by the Enugu State Government, financed by Fidelity Bank PLC and being operated by XEJet, a privately-owned Nigeria airline.
The aircraft were also said to have commenced operation with one flown in with passengers from Lagos to Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
According to Keyamo, the initiative was one of the five-points agenda President Bola Tinubu administration established when they came into office.
The minister said one of the agenda is to ensure the growth and sustenance of the local operators; also, encourage the operators to establish local airlines, as well as support their growth, sustenance and development.
“This is one of our dreams that came true here today in Enugu State, powered by the incredible governor.
“He was one of the first governors that visited me the moment I was made Minister of Aviation to push for Enugu airline.
“Through his persistence, we approved his partnership with XE Jet which already had Air Operator’s Certificate, AOC,” Keyamo said.
