Industrial Action: FAAN assures passengers safe and orderly airport operations

Amidst the ongoing industrial action by aviation unions, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has assured the travelling public of its commitment to maintaining safe, secure and orderly airport operations.

FAAN advised passengers to remain calm and maintain contact with their respective airlines for real-time information regarding their flights.

In a statement, FAAN said it recognises the legitimate role of organised labour and supports the ongoing efforts of the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, and other stakeholders towards an amicable resolution of the issues at hand.

FAAN noted that it is working closely with the relevant aviation agencies, airlines, security agencies and other stakeholders to minimise the impact of the industrial action and ensure that airport operations are not disrupted.

It confirmed that earlier operational challenges affecting the movement of some flights within the airside environment have been addressed through ongoing inter-agency coordination, and measures are being sustained to support the orderly continuation of flight operations.

FAAN added that it remains committed to ensuring that Nigeria’s airports remain safe, secure, functional and accessible to passengers and other airport users.

FAAN said the ongoing engagements under the leadership of the Minister will lead to a speedy and mutually acceptable resolution.
