Nigerian Airports Face Flight Disruptions Over Poor Landing Systems

Nigerian airports are at risk of flight cancellations and delays as the harmattan season approaches, characterized by dust haze and poor visibility. The inadequate instrument landing systems across the country may cause widespread disruptions in flight operations.

With no Category III certified airports in Nigeria, the lack of advanced landing systems poses challenges for aircraft landings during low visibility conditions. Experts express concerns over the outdated technology, highlighting the need for modernization to ensure safe and efficient flight operations, especially during peak periods like the harmattan season.
