Nigeria’s Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has granted approval for Enugu Air to commence domestic flight operations, naming XEJET as its official operational partner. The move enables the airline to begin services while it completes the process for its own Air Operator Certificate (AOC). Ticket sales are now live via the XEJET platform, accessible through a redirect on the Enugu Air website.
The airline was formally launched this week by Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo, at Enugu International Airport. The initial phase includes flights from Enugu to Abuja and Lagos, with expansion to other domestic and regional African destinations underway. Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah stated that the initiative aims to boost tourism, attract investment, and create jobs, with long-term plans to connect the state globally.
