The Nigerian Meteorological Agency has secured ISO 9001:2015 certification for the provision of aeronautical meteorological services at the Yola, Osubi and Owerri airports.
The agency disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday, noting that the achievement followed a directive by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, to the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of NiMet, Prof Charles Anosike, to “ensure strict compliance with safety regulations and continuous upward movement of Nigeria’s rating by WMO and ICAO.”
According to the statement, the three airports were successfully certified under NiMet’s quality management system, ISO 9001:2015, for the provision of aeronautical meteorological services to the aviation industry.
The certification followed a successful third-party audit of NiMet’s products and services provided to airlines at the airports by Certech Inc., Canada, the agency said.
