United Nigeria Airlines marked a historic milestone December 10, 2025, as flight UN05622 successfully landed at the Ekiti Agro-Allied International Airport in Ado-Ekiti, becoming the first-ever commercial flight to touch down at the state’s new airport.
The flight, which departed from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, symbolizes United Nigeria Airlines’ continued commitment to expanding domestic connectivity and enhancing access across Nigeria.
The landmark arrival was warmly received by the Executive Governor of Ekiti State, who welcomed the Abuja service alongside other inaugural flights from Lagos.
In a statement, the airline reaffirmed its dedication to uniting travelers with their destinations and supporting national development through safe, reliable, and customer-centered air travel.
“United Nigeria Airlines remains committed to strengthening reliability, elevating customer service, and—most importantly—bringing families, people, and communities closer together,” the airline said.
With the commencement of flights into Ekiti State, a new chapter opens for economic growth, tourism, and mobility in the region—one the airline proudly embraces as it continues to connect more Nigerians to the places that matter most.
