Ekiti Agro-Allied International Cargo Airport has received NCAA approval to begin non-scheduled flight operations on December 15, 2024, for a six-month period, a development that could boost hospitality investment opportunities in the region by enhancing connectivity and attracting more travelers.
Ekiti Agro-Allied International Cargo Airport (EAICA) in Ado-Ekiti has been granted approval by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to commence non-scheduled flight operations starting December 15, 2024.
The NCAA issued the approval in a letter dated December 11, 2024, addressed to Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji. The approval, which is valid for six months from December 15, 2024, to June 15, 2025, authorizes operations under Visual Flight Rules (VFR).
Signed by NCAA Acting Director General, Capt. Chris Najomo, the letter responded to the Ekiti State Government’s request for a flight operational permit. The six-month approval will allow the NCAA to assess the airport’s compliance with outstanding findings and give the state government time to address a few corrective actions.
