The management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has assured members of the public, especially passengers and airline operators, that necessary operational and security measures have been put in place at all the airports to ensure hitch-free passage of passengers and cargo during the forthcoming Easter holidays.
Apart from the statutory security and safety measures already in place at the airports, sniffer dogs and members of the Bomb Detection Unit of the Nigerian Police Force have also been deployed at the airports, to complement the effort of our Aviation Security personnel at the security screening points.
Passenger facilitation at all our airports has also been enhanced by the installation of more modern and bigger conveyor belts and metal walk-through detectors. The expansion and modernisation of all the airport terminals in the country under the Airport Remodelling Project of the Federal Government now provide better ambience and more space for shops and restaurants at the terminals. This helps 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, FAAN spokesperson, Yakubu Dati, stated.
