Flight operations to comnence at Ebonyi airport November
Ebonyi State Government has said that flight operations at the Chuba Okadigbo Airport Onueke is expected to begin Operation in November.
The State Commissioner for Aviation, Mrs Ngozi Obichukwu, made this known while briefing Governo Francis Nwifuru during his inspection of the facility.
The inspection was as part of activities to mark the state’s 28th anniversary.
Obichukwu said that the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, had inspected the airport’s runway which, she said, was the only aspect delaying the commencement of flight operations.
“The 3.1kilometre runway which can accommodate five aircrafts at a time was asphalted by the present administration in the state.
“The airport had earlier commenced operations but most aircraft could not cope with the runway due to non-asphalting of the concrete basement used in constructing it.
“We, however, commenced the asphalting of the runway in October 2023 and completed it on July 8, 2024,” she said.
According to her, NCAA had inspected the runway and was expected to give approval for flight operations by November.
