The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has started processing  passengers through the New International Terminal.

The expedited relocation to the New International Terminal at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport  became necessary due to the unfortunate fire incident  that occurred  at the International Terminal.

The  Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo,  during  his maiden visit to Lagos airport had directed the FAAN to relocate  airlines  to the New International Terminal.

FAAN said in a press release that the relocation will enable it to close  down the old terminal and effect total overhaul on the  International Airport Terminal 1  by October 1, 2023.

It further indicated that it  intends to make the movement  as seamless as possible,appealing    to  travellers to  be at the airport early enough to  complete  their check-in  formalities on time  in order not to miss their flight.
