The Head of Corporate Communications of the Airline, Mr. Achilleus-Chud Uchegbu, confirmed the development in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
Uchegbu said the flight would proceed from Enugu to Abuja before finally returning to Lagos.
He said the inaugural flight aboard the EMB145 type of aircraft, would take-off from the domestic wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MM2) Ikeja, Lagos State, and terminate at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu.
According to Uchegbu, this is sequel to the issuance of an Air Operators Certificate (AOC) to United Nigeria by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), having fulfilled all mandatory regulatory requirements.
“United Nigeria will fly Lagos-Abuja at 6.45 a.m. daily; Abuja-Lagos at 8.15 a.m. daily; Lagos-Asaba at 9.45 a.m. daily; Asaba-Abuja at 11.15 a.m. daily; Abuja- Asaba at 12.45 p.m. daily and Asaba-Lagos at 2.15 p.m. daily.
