It's still an airport. Although small, it still performs its functions.
Though small, the airport at Jalingo serves its purpose! It opens up the state to other parts of the country which hitherto would have been quite difficult to access due to the bad state of roads in the region. Taraba is a beautiful state with peaceful and friendly people. It’s worth visiting!
Well, it's called an airport.
Taraba State also offers a rich variety of mineral
deposits including graphite, calcite, barites,
quarzite, tin ore, kaolin, topaz, uranium and
various gemstones. Taraba has borders with
Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau, Nasarawa and
Adamawa.
With air connectivity, these potentials could more
easily be accessed and exploited for the benefit
of the State and its citizenry. This is the ultimate
goal of Overland Airways in as it opens up
Jalingo and the larger Taraba State0
