Nigerian Airports in Kano, Port Harcourt Receive Certification for Enhanced Safety and Operations

The certification of Kano and Port Harcourt airports by the Nigerian aviation authorities, including the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), highlights a strategic push towards institutionalizing certification as a core pillar of airport operations across Nigeria. This move follows a rigorous regulatory process jointly executed by FAAN and NCAA to ensure compliance with international safety rules set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

The certification process involves multiple audits, infrastructure evaluations, and continuous engagement to close safety gaps and align airport operations with global standards and best practices.
