NAMA installs new facilities at Enugu Airport
The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) says it has successfully installed a new CAT 2 Instrument Landing System/ Distance Measuring Equipment (ILS/DME) at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
The installation of the new equipment would replace the old system which was installed since 2003. As the build up to the reopening of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu gathers momentum; the Federal Government has made good its promise to upgrade facilities at the airport.
A successful site acceptance test on the equipment has also been conducted by NAMA engineers in Enugu in preparation for its calibration in the coming days.
In a bid to address communication blind spots in the Lagos and South-East corridor, the agency had installed a Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) for satellite communication at the airport.
This Satellite Communication (SATCOM) node had further been integrated into the national satellite communication network which was linked to the African Indian Ocean SATCOM Network (AFISNET).
