The Commissioner for Aviation and Transport Technology, Ngozi Obichukwu, made this known at the Chuba Okadigbo International Airport, Onueke, of the State.
According to her, “This airport is now licensed and we now have a license for every air flight operations.
“So, we have the license to operate our own “Ebonyi Air” and our flights are on ground.
“However, we have completed the elevation and we have a nine-storey building there.
“And again, we have a very good runway lights which means we can operate even in the night.
“That’s one of the most important things that some airports do not have. So aviation is not something you walk over. They have a procedure and we have met their requirements.
“And very soon you will see cargo flights here. You will see commercial flights here. You will see the domestic and international. They will all be here,” she ensured.
