When carrying out a business like that of transportation, there is need for constant maintenance and safety. For air travel, most especially, nothing must be left unattended to.
For this reason, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has taking an important decision to shut down the runway of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA).
The decision was taken by FAAN to afford it the necessary time to carry out maintenance work on runway 18R/36L of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
FAAN made the announcement on Monday via its Twitter page, stating that the scheduled maintenance would not last for more than 90 days.
In the meantime, Taxi way B-18L will be used for all flight operations.
“This is to notify the public that runway 18R/36L of the Murtala Muhammed Int’l Airport, Lagos has been closed for 8 weeks for Maintenance work to be carried out. Taxi way B-18L will be used for all flight operations.
“FAAN, committed to her core values..Safety, Security and Comfort.”
FAAN had in June 2022, closed runway 18L/36R of the same airport for renovation for 90 days, during which airline operators lamented that they incurred huge losses despite assurances of smooth operations given to them by FAAN.
