The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced the closure of the runway 18R/36L of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos for eight weeks to carry out maintenance work.
FAAN made the announcement on Monday on its Twitter page, saying that for the meantime, Taxi way B-18L will be used for all flight operations.
“This is to notify the public that runway 18R/36L of the Murtala Muhammed Int’l Airport, Lagos has been closed for 8 weeks for Maintenance work to be carried out. Taxi way B-18L will be used for all flight operations.
“FAAN, committed to her core values..Safety, Security and Comfort.”
Recall that FAAN in June 2022, closed runway 18L/36R of the same airport for renovation for 90 days, during which airline operators lamented that they incurred huge losses despite assurances of smooth operations given to them by FAAN.
