Federal Govt closes Lagos airport runway for rehabilitation

The Federal Government, through the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has closed Runway 18R/36L at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos for rehabilitation.

This was contained in a statement by the Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, FAAN, Obiageli Orah.

Orah said the closure started from 3.00 a.m. on Monday and will end at 11.59 p.m. on Tuesday.

According to her, the closure is due to ongoing rehabilitation work (asphalt phase) at the A2 Taxiwaylink of the runway.

She reiterated that it was part of ongoing efforts to ensure that the runway would remain in optimal condition.

“There will be no disruption to flight operations during this period as all flights would be redirected to the alternative runway, 18L/36R,” she said.

The director stressed FAAN’s commitment to the safety, security and comfort of airport users.
