OGUN STATE MAKES AVIATION HISTORY AS NCAA GRANTS COMMERCIAL OPERATIONAL PERMIT


The Ogun State Gateway International Airport has officially received an Aerodrome Operational Permit from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), authorizing it to operate Scheduled Commercial Air Transport flights. The announcement was made by Governor Dapo Abiodun, who described the milestone as historic and the first of its kind in Nigeria.


The approval follows a successful technical inspection, on-site verification, and audit of the facility. According to the Governor, NCAA officials have commended the Gateway International Airport as a benchmark for what airports should be in the country, underscoring its advanced infrastructure and operational readiness.


Under the terms of the permit, the airport holds an Aerodrome Reference Code of 3C and an ARFFS Category of 6, with a non-precision runway operating category for Runway 05/23 and an Area Navigation (RNAV) approach type.


In a boost to its international profile, a major global company has committed to operating two weekly cargo flights from London to the Gateway International Airport. The facility has also been designated as the alternate airport to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, enhancing its strategic value for both domestic and international operations.


Governor Abiodun also disclosed that passenger flights will commence soon, with initial direct routes to Abuja and Port Harcourt. He emphasized that the development will open fresh opportunities for trade, investment, and tourism, firmly placing Ogun State on the global map.


“With world-class infrastructure, international connectivity, and a strategic location, the Gateway International Airport will redefine air travel standards in Nigeria and stand as a proud symbol of our vision for a greater Ogun State,” the Governor said.


The commencement of full operations at the Gateway International Airport marks a significant step in Ogun State’s economic transformation agenda, reflecting the administration’s commitment to building a future of growth and global relevance.
