Fire: FAAN redirects flight operations to new Lagos airport terminal

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has redirected flight operations and processing of passengers to terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State.

The FAAN Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, made this known in a statement issued on Thursday, September 7, 2023.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, during his maiden visit to the airport, ordered airlines to relocate to terminal 2 by October 1.

He noted that the relocation was a necessity for the renovation and total overhaul of terminal 1.

Yakubu-Funtua, however, said the expedited relocation to the new terminal was deemed necessary due to the fire incident that occurred at terminal 1 on Wednesday, September 6.

He appealed to travellers to arrive at the airport early in order to complete their check-in formalities.
