The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has shifted the date to effect new tariff toll fare at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) from 17 July to 1 August.
In a statement signed by the FAAN Management on Sunday in
Abuja, the postponement was to make the airport users enjoy more of the current
charges.
According to the management, the car fare will change from
N200 to N300, while that of buses and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) will change
from N300 to N500 only.
It said the truck (six tyres) tariff would change from N500
to N1,000 while the trailer and container tariff would be N2,000.
The management urged the public to take notice of the
changes in the effective date and tariff.
It also appealed to all airport users that owned vehicles to
use the dedicated “park and pay” for car parks that had been provided for the
comfort of airport users.
According to it, drop-off zone rules and regulations guiding
movement should be respected to create free traffic flow to enhance a calm and
serene environment around the airport.
“Commercial drivers are to use the drop-off zone to drop
their passengers but not to engage in pick-up of passengers as the airport
already has registered car hire services (FAAN TAXI, BOLT, UBER) situated along
the airport exit way.
“There is an exclusive parking lot for heads of MDAs, MDs of
private companies, and highly recognised individuals for their comfort as
frequent fliers and their status in society.
“VIP parking stickers are also available for those who want
to enjoy VIP parking privileges,” it said.
The management commended the conduct of the airport users,
urging them always to verify their “parking status and pay” where necessary
before attempting to leave the airport.
According to the management, verifying parking status by
airport users will help to avoid any embarrassment by allowing the free flow of
traffic in and out of the airport.
It reassured the passengers, concessioners and stakeholders
of the airport’s commitment to their safety, security and comfort while using
or passing through the airport.
According to it, FAAN is committed to its core values of
safety, security and comfort. NAN
