As part of efforts to upgrade the Asaba International Airport, the Delta State Government has announced the successful installation of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) at the airport.

Delta State Information Commissioner Charles Aniagwu, stated this in a statement on Friday in Asaba.

He noted that with the successful installation of the Instrument Landing System, bad weather would no longer affect the operations of aircrafts flying into and out of the airport.

Aniagwu assured that once the ongoing installation of the Air Field Lighting systems was completed, the airport would be able to operate at night without hitches in line with the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) standards.

The Commissioner said the Asaba International Airport had the capacity to become a major hub for local and international flight operations and called on the relevant regulatory authorities to give the necessary approvals for the operation of Boeing 777 and other bigger airplanes in and out of the airport.

He commended Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for his commitment to ensuring total upgrade of the airport to truly international standard.
