…Omni-Blu Aviation to serve as designated operator
Enugu Air has received approval for its Lagos–London Gatwick route, with Omni-Blu Aviation (OBA) appointed as the designated operator under a strategic partnership. Bookings are now open, and flights will commence in December 2026.
The approval marks a major milestone in Enugu Air’s expansion, strengthening connectivity between Nigeria and the United Kingdom and opening new opportunities for passengers and trade.
This milestone is said to reflects the bold vision and transformative leadership of Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, the Governor of Enugu State, whose aviation agenda is positioning Enugu as an emerging gateway for international connectivity, investment, tourism, and economic growth.
