After months of expectation, the Bayelsa State Government-owned airport finally received the nod of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Saturday to commence commercial flight operations. NCAA Director-general, Dr. Nuhu Musa, presented the regulatory body’s approval letter to an elated Governor Douye Diri at Government House, Yenagoa, after a NCAA team had completed the mandatory inspection of the airport and its facilities.
Musa said the airport met all airspace standards and was one hundred per cent ready for daytime flight operations.
The governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, quoted the NCAA DG as saying the approval was sequel to the report of the agency’s inspection team, which prior to the visit had certified that out of 29 gaps, the airport was able to close 26. He noted that other requirements were non-safety related and work was already in progress to achieve night flight operations.
