It’s Media Executive Officer, Mr Stanley Olisa said in a
statement in Lagos on Friday that the Nigeria’s leading airline, Air Peace has
added another first to its kitty.
Olisa said that the foremost airline deployed two of its
aircraft- an Embraer 145 and a Boeing 737- for the demonstration flights to
unveil the airport sited in the Umuleri axis of the state.
Speaking at the event, the Chairman of Air Peace, Mr Allen
Onyema expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for approving and enabling
the project.
Onyema noted that the airport was one of the fastest
airports to be approved even for a test-flight.
“What we have here is the widest runway ever and could land
a Boeing 777 and an Airbus 380.
“This is the first time an airport would be doing a test-run
with a Boeing 737. It used to be very small planes before,” he said.
The aviator said the airport would generate numerous jobs
for Nigerians and significantly impact Nigeria’s economy.
The chairman said that the new Anambra Airport was an
ambitious project initiated by Gov. Willie Obiano which has recorded impressive
execution in 15 months.
