The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced the reopening of the domestic runway of Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos to flight operations.
ASHENEWS recalls that the runway, technically referred to as Runway 18L/36R, “was temporarily closed to flight operations on the 8th July, 2022, to allow for the completion of its ground lighting system.”
However, a statement by the acting General Manager, Corporate Affairs of FAAN, Faithful A. Hope-Ivbaze emailed to ASHENEWS on Monday, said “With the project satisfactorily completed, the Runway can now be used for flight operations as necessary safety infrastructure e.g. approach lights, runway threshold lights, runway centre line lights, runway edge lights have all been fully installed.
“The Authority uses this opportunity to express her appreciation to our stakeholders, particularly the airline operators, for their perseverance, cooperation and collaboration while the project lasted.”
