Aviation Master Plan, Paradigm Shift -FAAN MD

The Managing Director
of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mr Saleh Dunoma,  says the Aviation Master Plan has been described as paradigm shift in the formulation of aviation policies.
Speaking at a seminar organised by the League of Airport and Aviation Correspondents (LAAC) with a theme: “Aviation Infrastructure and Policy As stimulus For Economic Growth in Nigeria,” at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, recently.
Mr Dunoma said “Never before have aviation policies in the country made such immediate impact on the airport landscape and the economy than we are witnessing today.”
He acknowledge and applauded the vital contributions that LAAC had made over the years, in the development of the country’s aviation industry through robust and fruitful deliberations and the communication of ideas and facts about developments in the industry, using their various media.
According to him, “there is no doubt that most policies in the country’s aviation industry, over the years, have been influenced, directly or otherwise by observations, contributions or resolutions made at the LAAC seminar by experts invited to brainstorm on ways of moving the industry forward.”
Director of Maintenance and Engineering, Mr Oluwafemi Ogunode, added that the theme for this year’s LAAC seminar did not only align with the thinking of the federal government on the aviation industry today, but also provided a friendly atmosphere for the fertilization of ideas needed to complement the Transformation Agenda of the president Goodluck Jonathan in the aviation sector.
He said the remodeling of 22 airports across the country had transformed airport terminals into ultra modern structures.
