...Passengers Facilitation Enhanced
The Management of the Federal Airports Authority of
Nigeria assures members of the public, especially passengers and airline
operators, that “necessary operational and security measures have been put in
place at all our airports to ensure hitch-free movement of passengers and cargo
during the forthcoming yuletide holidays.”
According to Henrietta Yakubu (Mrs) Acting General
Manager, Corporate Affairs of FAAN, “Apart from the statutory security and
safety measures already in place at the airports, Management has also charged
all Airport Managers to employ measures to ensure that only those that meet
requirements have access to all restricted areas at the landside, terminals and
airside.”
She said the Bomb Detection Unit of the Nigerian Police
Force have also been charged to be more alert at the airports, to compliment
the effort of Aviation Security personnel at the security screening points.
“To reiterate her commitment to safety of lives and
properties, the Federal Government through the Nigerian Airforce recently
conducted Counter Terrorism Simulation live demonstration at the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.”
“Passengers facilitation at all our airports has also been
enhanced by the upgrade of power installations, installation of modern and
bigger conveyor belts and metal walk-through detectors, servicing of lifts and
escalators. Stringent measures are being taken to eradicate the menace of touts
and other unwholesome activities around the terminals.”
She said also that the expansion and modernization of the airport terminals now provide better ambience and more space for restaurants at
the terminals, as well as newly opened duty free shops. These provide duty-free
shopping experience and help passengers relax comfortably while waiting for
their flights.
The Authority however advises air passengers to make
early arrangements for their travels and to leave home early on their travel
dates, in order to complete their boarding facilities in good time.
