The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has assured the travelling public of its commitment to maintaining safe, secure and orderly airport operations.
The Authority came up with the assurances following developments arising from the ongoing industrial action by aviation Unions.
The FAAN recognises the legitimate role of organised labour and supports the ongoing efforts of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, and other stakeholders towards an amicable resolution of the issues at hand.
In the interim, FAAN is working closely with the relevant aviation agencies, airlines, security agencies and other stakeholders to minimise the impact of the industrial action and ensure that airport operations are not disrupted.
The Authority also confirms that earlier operational challenges affecting the movement of some flights within the airside environment have been addressed through ongoing inter-agency coordination, and measures are being sustained to support the orderly continuation of flight operations.
FAAN remains committed to ensuring that Nigeria’s airports remain safe, secure, functional and accessible to passengers and other airport users.
Passengers are advised to remain calm and maintain contact with their respective airlines for real-time information regarding their flights.
The FAAN appreciates the understanding and patience of the travelling public and remains confident that the ongoing engagements under the leadership of the Honourable Minister will lead to a speedy and mutually acceptable resolution.
