Receiving the report, Chief Chidoka stated that “the power of automation especially in the dynamic world of aviation cannot be wished away as it would facilitate the one aviation vision and also set targets and measurable timelines”.

He also gave other aviation agencies 7 days to take a cue from NAMA by creating Project Management Offices.
