The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced a planned one-hour power shutdown at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Wednesday, June 5.
Mrs Obiageli Orah, Director, Public Affairs/Consumer
Protection made this known in a statement on Tuesday, in Lagos.
Orah said that the shutdown, for maintenance, would occur
between 1.30 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. at the International Terminal 2 ( ITZ-2).
She said it was as a result of the urgent need to verify the
issues affecting the Bus Riser 11K VA high tension (HT) panel on the ground
floor, North of the International Terminal 2 (ITZ-2) of the Murtala Muhammed
Airport, Lagos.
Orah said that FAAN would ensure that the shutdown of power
supply was with minimal disruption to flight operations and passenger
facilitation.
“The identified airlines, namely Rwanda Air (WB), EgyptAir
(MS) and Qatar Air (QR) that operate within the maintenance hour will be
relocated for check-in and arrival (parking) formalities at the International
terminal 1(ITZ-1).
“All intending passengers on these flights should please
take note. The Authority regrets any inconveniences this might cause our
stakeholders and the travelling public,” she noted.
Orah said that FAAN was committed to world-class safety
standards and service to all airport users.
