Majekodunmi said: “This prime position offers easy access from key economic centres, functions as an alternative to Lagos’s Murtala Muhammed Airport, and places it adjacent to an agro-industrial processing zone and a free zone.
“Positioning it as a major hub for both cargo exports and regional trade.”
Majekodunmi expressed the airline’s excitement to operate at the Gateway airport as soon as it is commissioned for take-off of flight operations.
The airport was granted an Aerodrome Operational Permit by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on August 15.
The approval allowed the airport to operate scheduled commercial flights.
The facilities at the airport show a 4-kilometre (4,000-metre) long and 60-metre-wide runway, which is one of the longest and widest in the West African sub-region.
This design allows the airport to accommodate wide-body and ultra-long-haul aircraft, including a Boeing 777, A350, and other aircraft.
