The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says runway 18R/36L at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos will be temporarily closed for rehabilitation.
In a statement on Sunday,
Obiageli Orah, director of public affairs and consumer protection, said the
rehabilitation work is part of ongoing efforts to ensure the runway remains in
optimal condition.
“The Federal Airports Authority
of Nigeria wishes to inform the general public that there would be a temporary
closure of Runway 18R/36L at Murtala Muhammed Airport Lagos from the 03:00Hrs
of 3rd of March 2025 23:59Hrs of 4th March 2025,” the statement reads.
“The closure is due to ongoing
rehabilitation work (asphalt phase) at the A2 Taxiway-link of the runway.”
Orah assured that flight
operations will not be disrupted, as all flights will be redirected to the
alternative runway 18L/36R during the period.
The director reiterated the
authority’s commitment to its core values of safety, security, and passenger
comfort.
On January 15, Olubunmi Kuku,
FAAN’s managing director, said N580 billion is needed to fix airport runways
across the country.
Speaking on the state of airport
facilities, Kuku said many runways have exceeded their lifespan, necessitating
urgent reconstruction.
