German national carrier, Lufthansa has disclosed its plan to resume flights to the Port Harcourt International Airport, as soon as the federal government reopens the airport.
This was stated in a statement by the General Manager, Sales, Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea, Lufthansa Group, Mrs. Adenike Macaulay.
According to Macaulay, Lufthansa is interested and waiting to resume its flight operations to Port Harcourt. The carrier has indicated the same to the relevant authorities. "We hope that the airport will soon open again for international flights."
"For our flights to Port Harcourt, we expect good demand, as we are hearing from our customers every day that they would like to get back our Lufthansa flights from Port Harcourt.
She added that "the booking figures make us confident that we will run a profitable operation out of Port Harcourt. That is why we offer these flights in our booking systems for months and having to cancel them week-by-week due to the delay in reopening."
Macaulay however said that "teaming up with PHC airport management and with the support of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) we are confident to reopen this destination hopefully soon, a key one also for the oil and energy business. Lufthansa already resumed its flights to Lagos and Abuja since December 2020 which shows that the airline has reestablished two out of three Nigerian connections, now waiting to connect the third one."
