The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has reopened the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos for flight operations, following Tuesday’s incident involving an Air Peace aircraft at the airport.

It has been said by renowned world economic experts that commercial airlines are a catalyst to economic development in any country. That is why every country supports its airlines. Efficient local airlines facilitate the movement of people and goods and enhance economic transactions and trade.  Despite the difficult environment under which Nigeria local airlines operate, Consumer Protection Directorate of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority , NCAA, recently released industry figures for year 2018, with no fewer than 14.2 million air travellers recorded. The traffic, compared to 2017 estimate of 11.2 million, represents a 20.8 per cent traffic upsurge ; apparently a return on investment for committed local operators.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has expressed its “profound appreciation and gratitude” to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for fulfilling his promise to address the identified challenges that hitherto posed a threat to the safety of air travelers at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.

Another remarkable stride for this administration is the record certification of airports that was finally put in the aviation kitty
