The airport, described by the state government in terms of facilities as one of the best in Sub-Saharan Africa, has 3.7km runway and 34.4m control tower.
Obiano said at the inauguration that five airlines had been approved to begin operations at the airport.
He listed the airlines as Airpeace Nig. Ltd., United Nigeria Airline Ltd., Dana Airline Ltd., Ibom Airline Ltd. and Anab Jet Ltd.
With this NCAA clearance, these airlines already approved by relevant authorities to operate at the Anambra airport are expected to start scheduling flights into and out of the airport immediately.
