Business Operators Smile As PH Airport Resumes International Flights

Business operators, particularly the car rentals and car hire service operators, are now in high spirit following the resumption of international flights at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa.
This follows the final resumption of international flight operations at the international terminal of the airport.
Already, some of the international flights like Lufthansa, Cronaux and Cargolux have resumed operations at the airport.
Expressing happiness over the development, a car hire service operator, MrChimezie, who is popularly known as ‘ Machine’ told The Tide that the resumption of international flight at the airport had been long awaited.
According to him, the Port Harcourt International Airport, being the airport in the hub of oil and gas in Nigeria that attracts foreign expatriates, was supposed to be considered for resumption alongside Lagos and Abuja airports.
“To my greatest surprise, even Kano airport which does not even attract much foreigners like Port Harcourt, had since resumed operations.
“Anyway, to God be the glory that the terminal has finally been opened, so that our operations can expand. We have been for long limited our operations here at the domestic terminal, because the international had been shut, and you know what that means”, he said.
Meanwhile, another business operator at the airport, Mrs Beatrice Ide, explained that her business at the international terminal had been closed since the Covid-19, but expressed happiness that business was gradually returning to normal following the resumption of international flight at the airport.
According to her, the claim that the curfew imposed by the Rivers State Government recently to tackle insecurity challenges was responsible for the delayed resumption of international terminal was not true.
She argued that there was no curfew as at when the Port Harcourt International terminal was scheduled to resume along with Kano airport reopened.
She, however, expressed hope that everything she had lost during the closure of the international terminal would be recovered, and urged the airport policy makers to factor in the uniqueness of Port Harcourt Airport in their policy making.
