Proposed MRO Facility in Nigeria

Proposed MRO Facility in Nigeria

New Ado Ekiti Airport MRO facilities will save Nigeria billions of naira annually, which is one of the lessons that the strategic mega project will teach Nigeria. When the Ado Ekiti Airport, is completed, the facility will save the country foreign exchange of billions of naira per annum. As aircraft manufacturers move towards composite materials and avionics become more sophisticated, the Ado Ekiti Airport hangar maintenance facility will need to respond to the new requirements. The aircraft maintenance facility will replicate an industrial facility which will require remediation of toxic effluents, air pollution permits, safety standards for working in hazardous areas and a high tech facility with laboratories and clean rooms. In order to better serve several airlines in Nigeria, Ado Ekiti Aircraft Maintenance Repair and Overhaul facility is in good location. All facilities provide light airframe maintenance for both narrow body and wide body aircraft. Ado Ekiti Airport facility is our home base, and covers 40 hectares (400,000 square meters). It is specifically designed to provide a smooth flow of work and material. Airframe maintenance work is performed in one area, aircraft engine maintenance work in another, and component maintenance in yet another. Meanwhile, all three are tied together by an efficient, reliable multi- vehicle transportation system capable of delivering material and parts quickly. It has been revealed that West and Central African carriers expend at least $1bn on maintenance of their aircraft annually outside the region. This is as airlines in the country spend at least $1.8m regularly in carrying out C-Checks on their aircraft outside the country. The federal government has also said that it would formulate policies that would make Nigerian airlines to remain in business rather than allow them to close shop. Leasing of maintenance and repair space can be costly. Ado Ekiti Airport will build its reputation on the availability of space and excellent service to aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul companies. Ado Ekiti Airport will provide multiple types of space availability and facilities to accommodate the needs of airport operation. With a smoother start-up and transition process, tools, equipment and materials to the airport with greater ease and less complication, Ado Ekiti airport will deliver. After waiting for more than 20 years, the people of Ado Ekiti are now set to witness the launch of the country’s best MRO/ hangar facility. The new multimillion dollar airport will seat on a 40-hectare piece of land in a less crowded area with no heavy traffic jam like in the overcrowded urban capital. It also has a larger terminal and runways with a capacity to host more people and Flights.
