SAN FRANCISCO, December 03, (THEWILL) – As the world grapples with the second wave of the dreaded Coronavirus pandemic, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), has stepped up measures to ensure the safety of travelling passengers and other airport users across the nation.
From the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos; Port Harcourt International Airport; Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport and others within its network, the authority says it is not leaving any stone unturned to ensure safe and secure facilitation of travellers’ trips.
In an official statement issued by the agency, and signed by its General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, FAAN stated that across the airports, car parks have been rearranged for seamless pick-up and drop-off to avoid congestion.
It added that the authority has also created new drop-off zones for passengers with reduced mobility.
“Operational and directional signages have also been conspicuously remarked at both the air sides and land sides to make movements easier for airport users and to promote social distancing protocols”.
“Additionally, we have intensified the process of disinfecting all baggage before entering the terminals, as well as enhanced temperature screening of all passengers and staff using infrared scanners.
“We have also separated access entry points for passengers and staff to reduce congestion and improve on facilitation”.
FAAN equally advised all travellers and airport users to strictly abide by all laid down travel protocols and reiterated that only passengers will be allowed into the terminals.
“A compliance monitoring team has been constituted for each of our airports to drive total compliance”, FAAN said.
