The aviation agency made this known yesterday in a statement signed by the General Manager Corporate Communication, Mrs. Henrietta Yakubu to assure the public that maintenance would be carried out and there was no need to fret.
The statement issued read, ”The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) hereby notifies airlines, passengers and the general public that between 1000hours and 1200hours on Saturday November 24, 2018, we will embark on a routine maintenance at the D Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.”
“Consequently, all flight operations at the Wing will be diverted to E Wing while the maintenance work would last.”
She said that everything was in the best interest of the flying public and assured that FAAN is committed to its core values of safety, security and comfort.
On the redirection of arrival vehicles, FAAN stated that its plan will see a temporary Arrival Pick Up Zone in the old car park opened.
According to the statement, ”the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria hereby notifies passengers and other airport users that due to the ongoing construction works at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos (which is aimed at enhancing facilitation and improving travel experience of our customers), vehicular movements on the arrival floor will be redirected effective 0800hours on Monday November 26, 2018.”
“To this effect, a temporary Arrival Pick Up Zone in the old car park (opposite the terminal building) will be opened.”
Stating further, the airport Authority, noted that, arriving passengers will, as usual, exit the halls through Arrival Gate D but will no longer be able to turn left as the left axis will be closed due to construction.
“All passengers after exiting from Arrival Gate D, will now turn right and proceed to the old car park (opposite the terminal building) where the temporary pick up zone has been created.
“To ensure seamless vehicular movement as this phase of the construction is going on, the Authority has already mobilized relevant security agencies to assist in ensuring improved landside facilitation” .
“While we appeal to all airport users to cooperate with the security agencies on ground and ensure compliance to driving/parking rules, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause them”, FAAN stated
