The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), has assured Nigerians of very seamless travel through airports this Sallah season as the Authority has taken measures to upgrade her security apparatus to ensure safety of life and property of the travelling public .
FAAN, however encouraged all travellers to be at the airport early enough in order not to miss their flights as well as reduce rush.
A statement by the Director Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, Mrs Obiageli Orah gave the following tips and reads in part:
“International travellers must be at the airport three hours before departure, while local travellers must ensure to arrive about two hours to flight schedule .
“Please ensure that you pack your luggage by yourself.
“Do not leave your luggage unattended.
“FAAN has expanded the screening area in order to give passengers a better flying experience.
“Keep an eye on your valuables while passing through screening.
“Ensure that you park your vehicle properly at the car park to avoid it being towed .
Please do not engage the services of touts.
Do not give bribes or encourage extortion.
“Respect rules and regulations in respect of carriage of prohibited articles, liquids, and gel.
“We have information desks at all our airports to assist you. Please make use of them.”
The MD of FAAN Mrs Olubunmi Kuku, at a recent event had sent out a severe warning to staff as well as all government agencies that operate at our airports that FAAN will ensure that whoever is culpable is punished.
FAAN wishes everyone a happy holiday.
