 NAF ADVANCES AIRFIELD SAFETY CAPABILITY WITH GRADUATION OF SPECIALIST RUNWAY MANAGERS


The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified its commitment to aviation safety and operational excellence with the graduation of a new cadre of airfield management specialists at the Air Traffic Services Training Centre (ATSTC). The milestone event, held on Friday 24 April 2026, saw 10 participants complete Airfield Management Course 3/2026, reinforcing ongoing efforts to align NAF airside operations with global best practices, including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Global Reporting Format. This progress is in line with the command philosophy of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, which prioritizes operational safety, professionalism, and mission-oriented capacity development as critical enablers of national security.


The four-week intensive programme equipped participants from the Air Traffic Services and Works specialties with advanced competencies in runway inspection, Pavement Condition Code assessment, Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment operations, Foreign Object Debris control, wildlife hazard management, and coordinated emergency response planning. Speaking at the ceremony, the Commandant ATSTC, Air Vice Marshal NB Folaji, charged the graduates to uphold the highest safety standards, emphasizing that “runway safety is not negotiable… every decision you make on the airfield directly affects aircraft performance and passenger lives.” The rigorous blend of theoretical instruction and live operational simulations has positioned the graduates to deliver precise, real-time airfield condition reporting critical to safe flight operations.


Delivering remarks on behalf of the participants, Course Senior, Squadron Leader BY Bitiyong, described the training as transformative, noting that practical exercises such as Runway Condition Report generation and Pavement Condition Code adjustments based on pilot feedback have significantly enhanced operational confidence. He added that the study visit to Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport provided valuable exposure to national airfield management standards. The graduation ceremony, attended by senior officers and resource personnel, highlights the NAF’s strategic investment in human capacity development as a force multiplier in strengthening aviation safety, protecting critical infrastructure, and supporting Nigeria’s broader economic stability through safe and efficient air operations.
