Enugu Air Launches Direct Flights Between Nigeria and Douala

Nigerian airline Enugu Air has launched its first international route, connecting Enugu in southeastern Nigeria with Douala, Cameroon.

The inaugural flight took place on September 23, 2026, departing from Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu before landing at Douala International Airport.

The airline plans to operate two direct flights every week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, using an Embraer E170 aircraft with a capacity of 76 passengers.

The new connection gives travellers from southeastern Nigeria a direct air link to Cameroon without necessarily having to transit through Lagos.

The route is also expected to facilitate connections for passengers travelling between Douala and other Nigerian cities through Enugu.

Douala is Enugu Air’s first international destination.
