Enugu State Gov. owned airline, Enugu Air, will start flying straight to London Gatwick Airport on December 10, 2026.
The airline's CEO, Tolu Ita, announced the plan in a statement on Monday, and tickets are already on sale.
The flights will run four times a week on an Airbus A330-200.
The aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance are provided under an arrangement with Portugal based EuroAtlantic, and the service is delivered through a partnership with Omni Blu Aviation.
Passengers from Enugu will be able to fly to London directly from Akanu Ibiam International Airport.
Ita said the route is part of Governor Peter Mbah's plan to connect Enugu to more places around the world.
Omni-Blu's chairman, Akinola Olateru, said the partnership aims to improve Nigeria's international links.
Enugu Air's chief operating officer, Ugonna Agubuokwu, said four weekly flights will give passengers more choice in travel times.
