FAAN to expand local terminal to enhance capacity, aesthetics

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says, it is set to expand the Zulu wing of the General Aviation Terminal, Lagos as part of efforts to improve on infrastructure and service delivery.

The spokesperson for FAAN, Mrs. Henrietta Yakubu in a statement says, the expansion project, which will commence soon, will only hamper passenger facilitation minimally at the terminal, as normal passenger check-in will not be affected in any way.

According to her, the Protocol and VIP lounge at the terminal will be affected, as the facilities will be relocated temporarily till the end of the project, since major construction works will be carried out in that axis of the terminal.

The Authority assures that, it is already making arrangements for temporary spaces to be used as Protocol and VIP lounges, while the project is being executed.

The expansion project the Authority says, when completed, the terminal would have been enhanced in terms of capacity, aesthetics and passenger comfort, as the expected and expanded new lounges will be twice what is presently on ground.

It appealed to passengers and other airport users to be patient and bear with us for any inconvenience, while the project will last.
