Makurdi Airport, which was closed to commercial flight operations over fifteen years ago may reopen very soon. This hint was dropped by the Director of Operations of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency(NAMA), Mr Bisi Adedara while fielding questions on the civil and military co-operations in air traffic control in the country.
Adedara said that arrangement had reached advanced stage between the top echelon of the Nigeria Airforce and the agency following series of clamour by citizens and Government of Benue State to open up the State to airlines wishing to operate in the State capital and assist in the socio-economic development of the state.
He further disclosed that by the middle of January next year, a meeting would be scheduled between the Airforce and NAMA. The meeting he said would be aimed at putting final touches on the opening and secondment of Air Traffic Controllers from both sides to the Makurdi Airport Control Tower, to open the airspace to civil air traffic. ( Continues below….. )
It would be recalled that during the military era, Makurdi airspace was closed to civil traffic due to heavy presence of military hardware, especially the Tactical Air Command equipment stored in Makurdi.
During the era, only scanty Nigeria Airways flights were allowed due to its 100 per cent ownership by the Federal Government. Even then, any of the airline’s flight in and out of Makurdi must be approved by the Airforce High Command. When the arrangement was becoming cumbersome and uneconomic for the national carrier then it was forced to pull out of the route in 1989.
