Passengers Complain of Operational Failures at Enugu International Airport
What happened
Passengers at Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu complained about the failure of the air-conditioning system in the departure hall. This issue occurred shortly after the airport management and operational responsibilities were handed over to Aero Alliance Limited under a Public-Private Partnership arrangement. The concession, which was reportedly made some months prior, was intended to modernize the airport infrastructure and attract private investment.
