Akanu Ibiam International Airport — Enegu, Nigeria

Akanu Ibiam International Airport, marked by the code ENU, honors a Nigerian physician and diplomat who became the first indigenous president of the Nigerian Senate following independence. The airport serves Enugu, a city whose name translates roughly to "top of the hill" and which grew historically around coal mining during the British colonial period, later becoming a center of Igbo cultural and political life in southeastern Nigeria. During the Nigerian Civil War, the city briefly served as capital of the short-lived Biafran republic, a chapter still remembered locally. Commercial flights through ENU connect Enugu to Lagos, Abuja, and a handful of international destinations, supporting the region's trading and academic communities, including several universities in the surrounding area. Coal-era rail infrastructure still threads through parts of the city near the airport.
