IATA, Others Relish New Ogun Agro Cargo Airport

International aviation agencies including the International Air Transport Association, (IATA), the association of airline traders around the world as well as local regulatory agencies such as NCAA, NAMA, NIMET and FAAN, have all indicated interest in the new Agro Cargo Airport being put in place by Ogun State government due to its strategic location.

Likewise the two major critical aviation security and safety formations, the Nigerian Air Force and Nigerian Immigration Service(NIS).

 

 

 

The Control Tower, Runaway and Fire station within the airport, which is the first of its kind in Africa, are near completion.

The IATA represents 290 airlines in 120 countries and the association carries 83 percent of the world air traffic.

 

 

 

 

 

Among its members are world’s leading passenger and cargo airlines.

The State Commissioner for Works, Engr. Ade Akinsanya, had told senior editors during a recent facility tour the Agro Cargo Airport that the project would stimulate economic activity around the corridor.
