He further explained that the “new FAAN Act which is now known as the Federal Airports Authority Act 2022, has by virtue of section 39, given the Authority the power to, with the approval of the Minister of Aviation make Bye laws for the purpose of giving effect to the Act.”

“l am aware that the Federal High Court has jurisdiction over Aviation matters, but am also aware that there are certain criminal and civil matters for which the Magistrate Court has jurisdiction, it is our hope that this Court with both civil and criminal jurisdiction will be effective in the administration and quick dispensation of justice” he noted..

He indicated that the commissioning of the court is an outcome of effective team work, and collaboration between the judiciary and the Airports Authority.
