Ogun Gateway Airport Commences Commercial Operations

The Gateway International Airport in Ogun State successfully commenced the long-awaited commercial flight operations.

The airport is strategically located in Ilisan-Iperu Remo area of the state.

The inaugural flight was carried out by Value Jet Airline operating two flights per week between Abuja and the Gateway International Airport, while a global logistics firm has committed to operating two weekly cargo flights between London and the airport.

The historic milestone is coming after the airport has secured an Aerodrome Operational Permit from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, making it the first airport in Nigeria to receive such certification under current regulatory standards.

The good development is another significant achievement recorded by Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration in its efforts to boost the state’s economy and provide modern infrastructure.
