The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has
unveiled its plan to expand the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) of the Lagos
airport.
The agency said it would expand the Zulu wing of the
terminal as part of efforts to improve infrastructure and service delivery.
In a statement on Friday, Henrietta Yakubu, FAAN general
manager of corporate affairs, said the expansion project “will commence any
moment from now”.
Yakubu said the project would only hamper passenger facilitation “minimally” at the terminal as normal passenger check-in would not be affected in any way.
“However, 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
statement reads.
“Meanwhile, the Authority is already making arrangements for
temporary spaces to be used as Protocol and VIP lounges, while the project is
being executed.
“When the expansion project is 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.”
Yakubu said the authority would like to appeal to passengers
and other airport users to be patient and bear with any inconvenience during
the duration of the project.
She said FAAN would continue to give more updates on the
project as the need arises.
