The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority has stated that the stealing of the approach lighting at Runway 18 Right of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos would have minimal impact on its audit by the International Civil Aviation Authority Organisation.
Nuhu said, “It is a problem for us, even without the audit. It is a problem and we are discussing with the airport operator FAAN to see how measures can be put to prevent this occurrence in the future. It is not only unfortunate; I think it is embarrassing for the country for people to carry out such a heinous act.
“As regards the audit, we have what is called the aeronautical information publication. We also noted that the runway was out of use before this act Runway 18 Right International Airport has been closed for maintenance and there is a NOTAM, accordingly.” According to him, all operators know that Runway 18 Right Lagos is closed and they put in the NOTAM; they have no approach lights.
“There are procedures for handling such issues and that is being done and NAMA is doing some; we are doing some. There is a notification from the AIP Aeronautical Information Publication and the NOTAMs as long as you do that you are notifying the world of deficiencies within your system and that is it. That takes care of that.Kindly share this story:
