The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has said that due to the ongoing construction works at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, vehicular movements on the arrival floor will be redirected effective from Monday morning.
To this effect, a temporary Arrival Pick Up Zone in the old car park (opposite the terminal building) will be opened, the authority said in a statement released on Saturday by Mrs. Henrietta Yakubu, General Manager, Corporate Communications of FAAN.
“Consequently, 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,” she said.
According to her, 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.
The spokesperson reiterated that the construction work was aimed at enhancing facilitation and improving travel experience of our customers.
Daily Trust reports that the authority had earlier today closed the busiest D wing of the airport and diverted flights to the E wing for routine maintenance. The flights diversion lasted two hours, it was learnt.
