Why foreign airlines relocated offices – FAAN....

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria on Monday cited ongoing remodeling of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, as the reason why foreign airlines’ offices were relocated to the upper floors of the terminal.
According to FAAN’s General Manager, Corporate Communications, Mr. Yakubu Dati, the relocation of the airlines’ offices would pave the way for the expansion of the E and D fingers at the terminal to achieve a 25 per cent increment in the operational areas.
Dati said: “The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria wishes to inform the public, especially aviation stakeholders, that airline offices located at the second floor of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, are being relocated to the upper floors of the terminal, as part of the ongoing remodelling exercise at the airport which began last year.
“The planned relocation of the airlines offices will pave way for the expansion of the E and D fingers at the terminals, to achieve a 25 per cent increment in the operational floor area. This will also help increase the number of check-in counters to 40 and the Immigration counters to 40.
“At present, the airport has a total of 16 Immigration counters. Arrangement has also been perfected to readjust the design philosophy to accommodate more commercial offerings, so that both travelers and customers will be housed in a more comfortable and soothing environment.”
