The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) management team is actively participating in the 2025 ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium (GISS), taking place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, from February 10 to 12, 2025.
This year’s symposium themed, “The Next Flight: Innovating for a Sustainable Tomorrow,” addresses critical issues facing the aviation industry and serves as a platform for global stakeholders to collaborate and share best practices.
A statement from Mrs Obiageli Orah, FAAN’s Director, Public Affairs & Consumer Protection says FAAN’s delegation, led by Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, Managing Director and Chief Executive, is engaging in discussions on key themes, including balancing aviation growth with sustainability, leveraging AI to enhance airport operations and training, and strengthening implementation support for resource-constrained states. Additionally, the team is attending sessions on transforming digital learning in aviation training and exploring evolving strategies for a more sustainable aviation future.
On Day 2 of the symposium, Mrs. Kuku received the TRAINAIR PLUS member plaque on behalf of FAAN. She also signed the FAAN-ICAO TRAINAIR PLUS Manuals in the presence of Dr. Emiola Luqman, the Director of Human Resources and Administration at FAAN, and Mrs. Toyin Akinlade, the Acting General Manager of Training at FAAN. This achievement marks a significant advancement in FAAN’s commitment to excellence in aviation training and support. The Director of Airport Operation at FAAN, Capt. Abdullahi Mahmood, is also part of the delegation.
The GISS provides an invaluable opportunity for FAAN to connect with global leaders and gain insights into the latest advancements and challenges in the aviation sector. Mrs. Kuku expressed: “We are particularly interested in exploring the role of AI in revolutionizing both airport operations and training and how FAAN can effectively integrate these technologies to enhance efficiency and sustainability at our airports.”
FAAN’s participation in the ICAO GISS underscores its commitment to remaining at the forefront of aviation best practices and delivering world-class airport services.
The knowledge and insights gained from this symposium will be instrumental in shaping FAAN’s future strategies and initiatives.
