 NCAA approves reopening of Asaba Airport for operations

This came after some officials of the agency inspected the airport last week, to ascertain the level of preparedness for its re-opening pursuant to the Federal Government’s lifting of the ban on local air travel.

 

According to the NCAA, the Asaba International Airport had satisfactorily fulfilled the requirements of the COVID-19 restart guidelines and protocols and therefore had been granted the authorization to resume normal operations.
