Ekiti Airport approval, a befitting Christmas gift -APC

Ekiti

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has expressed delight at the approval by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) of the commencement of flight operations at the Ekiti Cargo Airport from December 15 2024.

The party, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Segun Dipe, lauded the state governor, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and the people of the state, saying the good news couldn’t have come at any better time.  The NCAA had, in a letter dated December 11, 2024 and addressed to Ekiti State Governor, granted approval to commence non-scheduled flight operations under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) at the airport for an initial period of six months – December 15, 2024 to June 15, 2025.

With the approval, airplanes will now land and take off from the airport in Ekiti like everywhere else between 6.00am and 6.00pm (or sunrise to sunset).

“This is a promise made and promise kept, a Christmas gift specially wrapped for all in the state. That is how we see it. We are very happy and we make bold to say that it will serve us well to the delight of all,” he said.
