“To prevent the creation of obstructions and to safeguard the safety, security, and seamless functionality of aviation activities within the Techo International Airport vicinity, the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation stresses the imperative for pertinent ministries, institutions, and administrations to adhere to regulations governing the management of height obstacles near international airports before granting licenses or permits for any construction endeavours,” stated HE Dr Mao Havannall.
