The Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority (NCAA), the regulator of the Nigerian aviation industry,
after due diligence on the rehabilitated Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport
Abuja, on Monday declared it safe and ready for commercial flight operations.
The NCAA Director
General Capt. Muktar Usman told newsmen at the runway yesterday that even the
few open items that existed as at Sunday, the Federal Airports Authority of
Nigeria (FAAN) had closed the items by yesterday morning, thus the
airport is now ready for use.
"Well as you can
see, we have just done the final inspection of the runway rehabilitation and
reconstruction of Abuja International Airport. It is done and it is quite
satisfactory. We inspected yesterday and we made some observations but the
findings that we found were not safety critical and today we found that they
have been rectified" Capt. Muktar declared.
"So, the airport,
the runway is very ready to accept flight operations safely. By this we are
declaring that the airport and its runway are quite operational at the time
that has been determined as the official opening of this airport" he
assured.
