The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced plans to disconnect power at Lagos airport on June 5, due to maintenance work.
A statement by FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Obiageli Orah, said the maintenance is necessary to address urgent issues with the bus riser 11 kilo-volt-amperes (KVA) high tension (HT) panel located on the ground floor, North of International Terminal 2 (ITZ-2).
“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) hereby notify all stakeholders and the public that a maintenance shutdown of power supply shall occur at the International Terminal 2(ITZ-2) between 13:30 and 14:30 hrs on Wednesday, June 05, 2024.
“This is as a result of the urgent need to verify the issues affecting the Bus Riser 11KVA high tension (HT) panel on the ground floor, North of the International Terminal 2 (ITZ-2) of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.
“FAAN would ensure that the shutdown of power supply is with very minimal disruption to flight operations and passenger facilitation,” she said.
Orah added that airlines, including Rwanda Air, Egypt Air, and Qatar Air operating during the maintenance period will be moved to international terminal 1 (ITZ-1) for check-in and arrival procedures.
She advised all passengers on these flights to take note, expressing regret for any inconvenience the maintenance may cause to stakeholders and the travelling public.
