NCAA grants Aerodrome Certificates to FAAN for Kano and Port Harcourt airports.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) officially issued Aerodrome Certificates to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) covering two major hubs: Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (Kano) and Port Harcourt International Airport. This regulatory action confirms that both facilities meet the stringent safety and operational requirements mandated by the NCAA, aligning with global standards set forth by organizations like the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

The issuance of these certificates represents a significant milestone for Nigerian aviation infrastructure management. Aerodrome certification is crucial for ensuring the safety and security of flight operations, aircraft movements, and passenger handling within the airport environment. By achieving certification for these two key airports, FAAN demonstrates its commitment to upholding high levels of operational integrity, which is essential for maintaining and expanding both domestic and international air traffic services through Kano and Port Harcourt. This move is expected to bolster confidence among airlines and international regulatory bodies regarding the safety oversight within Nigeria's aviation sector.
