Flights to Enugu
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Enugu is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Akanu Ibiam International Airport (ENU), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,879 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Asaba International Airport (ABB, 96 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Akanu Ibiam International Airport | ENU | 8 km (5 mi) | 7,879 ft | 466 ft |
| Asaba International Airport | ABB | 96 km (60 mi) | 11,155 ft | 305 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,879 ft, ENU handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 466 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
