The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, in preparation for airports reopening, has warned persons who do not have intentions of travelling have been warned to steer clear of airports when they are eventually reopened.

The warning was given by the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) in a Twitter post today.

The agency further noted that persons intending to pick up arriving passengers should wait in their vehicles until the passenger exits the airport entrances.

“Non-travelling passengers will not be allowed into the Airport Terminal Buildings.

“People coming to pick up arriving passengers are advised to remain in their cars until passengers exit the gate. Stay safe,” the tweet read.

Earlier in May, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) held a skype meeting with Munich Airport International to share experiences and compare notes on the effects of the COVID19 lockdown on the airports.

The meeting which was at the instance of the Managing Director of FAAN, Rabiu Yadudu, had in attendance the Munich Airport Expert Team, Herbert Keffel, Georgios Elkolids and Julian Duerdoth.

It was also coordinated by Fortune Idu, Managing Director of FCI International Ltd, with Nike Aboderin, the Director of Finance as the team lead on the Nigerian side of 30 FAAN participants.

The aim was to assess the readiness of FAAN to gradually begin operations, following the Federal Government’s directive for reopening of the four regional airports.
