… “We’re delighted it’s fully operable once again”-EAN
CEO
EAN Aviation, a
Lagos-based business aviation services company has confirmed it has reactivated
its FBO radio frequency. The base radio, which is located at EAN’s FBO in Lagos
was badly damaged in a torrential rainstorm last winter and since then EAN have
been working tirelessly to restore connectivity. EAN’s dedicated
channel frequency 129.475
MHz was re-booted on 29th August 2016 and following subsequent checks EAN
Aviation clients are being advised of its fully functional status.
The restored system
enables EAN to maintain continuous contact with aircraft up to 100 nautical
miles from Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS/DNMM), and supports
flight tracking as well as voice transmissions. The radio is manned 24 hours a
day by EAN’s licensed dispatchers who provide aircraft departing from, and
arriving into, the EAN Aviation FBO with current, local information about the
flying environment. Special requests can also be made for ground handling, fuel
supply, specific equipment needs, maintenance and other services directly to
the dispatchers. EAN can also convey instructions on runway allocation, which
is particularly important for international business aviation flights that need
to land on the nominated Runway 18R for appropriate customs clearance.
“For clients making their
first flight into Lagos it’s a real bonus to be able to communicate directly
with our team. It gives them peace of mind knowing that there is someone on the
ground monitoring their flight and able to answer their queries immediately. It
also means that we can action any specific last minute requests and be fully
prepared for the aircraft’s touch down,” said Segun Demuren, CEO of EAN
Aviation. “The restoration of the EAN Aviation frequency showcases our ongoing
commitment to maintaining international service levels. It’s a very valuable
system in terms of safety and security and we’re delighted it’s fully operable
once again".
