Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has said that two commercial test-run flights will land at the Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport, Umueri, on Friday, April 30, 2021.

The airport has a three-point-seven kilometer runway. It has two racers of one kilometer each attached on either sides of the runway. This then makes it the longest in Sub-saharan Africa.
