In a groundbreaking move, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, OFR, Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines, touched down in the United States on November 16, signaling the airline’s imminent launch of direct flights to America.
The United Nigeria Airlines delegation, led by Chairman Okonkwo, engaged in crucial discussions with Dallas Forth Worth International Airport and met with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, along with key industry figures.

Emphasizing strategic connectivity across key domestic, regional, and international cities, the airline reaffirms its commitment to ambitious expansion and innovation in the aviation sector.
