The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has redirected flight operations and processing of passengers to terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, Director, Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, FAAN disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, had during his maiden visit to the airport, ordered airlines to relocate to terminal 2 by Oct. 1.
He noted that the relocation was a necessity for the renovation and total overhaul of terminal 1.
Yakubu-Funtua said the expedited relocation to the new terminal was deemed necessary due to the fire incident that occurred at Terminal 1 on Sept. 7.
He appealed to travellers to arrive at the airport early in order to complete their check-in formalities.
