The Nigerian government-owned airline, Enugu Air, is set to begin its inaugural international service to Douala, Cameroon on Wednesday, 23 September 2026. This marks the first time Enugu Air, a state-owned airline, will fly abroad. The route will connect Enugu, the capital of Enugu State in southeastern Nigeria, with Douala, the largest city and main port of Cameroon.
Enugu Air, which began its operations on 7 July 2025, is expected to fly a 76-seat Embraer E170 regional jet on this route. The airline has already been operational as a virtual carrier before receiving its own air operator certificate from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority on 10 March 2026. The new route is expected to provide a one-hour flight between the two neighboring countries, eliminating the need for layovers in Lagos or Abuja.
Enugu Air's chief operating officer, Ugonna Agubuokwu, expressed excitement about creating stronger connections between Nigeria and Cameroon, stating that this will make regional travel more accessible and convenient for passengers. Other Nigerian airlines such as Air Peace and NG Eagle have also previously operated direct routes between Nigeria and Cameroon.
