Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has moved flight operations from the old terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, to the new one (terminal two).
Gatekeepers News reports that FAAN in a statement on Thursday, urged travellers to arrive at the airport three hours before departure.
FAAN noted that it would allow the check-in process to be done in time.
The statement read, “This is to inform the travelling public that flight Operations have been moved from the Old Murtala Muhammed International Airport terminal (TI) to the new terminal (T2).
“FAAN uses this medium to appeal to passengers to always get to the airport ‘At least three hours’ before their departure time to ensure that check-in activities are concluded in good time.”
The announcement comes one week after the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo has directed all airlines to vacate the old terminal from October 1, 2023.
Keyamo said the relocation was necessary to give room for total maintenance work at the airport.
