FG Approves Cargo Terminal for Asaba Airport



The federal government has approved a cargo terminal that would enable larger aircraft to land at the Asaba airport, Delta State.

Delta State Commissioner for Lands, Survey and Urban Development, Mr Patrick Ferife, disclosed this to journalists in Asaba while conducting members of the Nigerian Guild of Editors round projects executed by Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan-led administration.

He said that the airport as one of the legacies of the governor, since its operation, has made transportation easier while it also created jobs for thousands of people within and outside the state.

 Disclosing that Overland and Arik Air companies were currently operating at the airport, the commissioner explained that Aero Contractors would soon resume services at the airport; a measure that would serve over 30,000 passengers in a month.

According to him, the runway of the airport space could accommodate larger aircraft, pointing out that all professionals and equipment needed for every operation have been put in place.
