Introduction.
Nigeria Overland Airways has reaffirmed its commitment to safety and operational excellence by renewing its International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification for the fifth consecutive time. Since achieving its first IOSA certification in 2015, the airline has consistently met the rigorous standards, with renewals in 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, and now 2024, solidifying its reputation as a reliable carrier.
In another development, the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority (ECAA) has officially certified Al-Alamein and Suhaj Airports as international airports. While both facilities have been hosting international flights, this formal recognition positions them as integral hubs within Egypt’s global aviation network, enhancing connectivity and operational stature.
