The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has redirected processing of passengers through the New International Terminal, effective immediately.
The Authority explained that the expedited relocation to the New International Terminal at MMIA was deemed necessary due to the unfortunate fire incident that occurred at the International Terminal 1 yesterday.
A statement signed by Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, Director, Public Affairs & Consumer Protection said the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo during his maiden visit to Lagos airport had directed the FAAN to relocate airlines to the New International Terminal for the shutdown of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Terminal 1 by 1st October, 2023 with a view to improving passenger experience and for total overhaul of the terminal.
Yakubu-Funtua while stating that FAAN intend to make the movement as seamless as possible, appealed to all travellers to please be at the airport early enough to complete their check-in formalities on time in order not to miss their flight.
