NCAA APPROVES COMMENCEMENT OF OPERATIONS AT ANAMBRA’S INTERNATIONAL CARGO AND PASSENGER AIRPORT
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has approved the commencement of operations at the Anambra State International Cargo and Passenger Airport for commercial operations with effect from Thursday December 2, 2021.
The State's Commissioner for Works, Mr. Marcel Ifejiofo, made this known to newsmen on Thursday.
He said the approval was contained in a letter dated December 1, and addressed to Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State.
The letter read: “The aviation authority said it has received security clearance from relevant security agencies for the opening. It said that the negative security clearance was the reason the authority had declined approval for the opening of the airport on the 30th of October 2021, when the state government had scheduled the commissioning.
“In the interim, Category B Aircrafts are permitted to land and take off from the airport from sunrise to sunset.”
“With this NCAA clearance, airlines already approved by the relevant authorities to operate at the Anambra airport such as Airpeace, Ibom Air, United Nigeria and others are expected to start scheduling flights into and out of the airport immediately.’’
