NAAE said although navigational facilities deployed by the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) rank among the best there is need to replace obsolete ones to line up with new technology.

 

It pledged to ensure optimal performance of equipment nationwide for the safety of the country’s airspace.

 

NAAE commended the government’s “massive deployment” of air navigational equipment and promised to ensure they remain functional, reliable, and serviceable.

It said it is fully involved in skill deployment for the success of the aeronautical information service automation project and the controller pilot data link connection of the Nigerian Airspace Management agency (NAMA).

 

NAAE, however, took a swipe at groups disseminating misleading information to frustrate the effort to improve navigational facilities.
