Passengers intending to travel have been advised by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to arrive at airports earlier, especially those at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
This, according to the agency, is due to built-up vehicular traffic caused by an increase in passenger traffic.
This was contained in a statement by FAAN on Friday titled, “Vehicular Traffic: FAAN advises passengers to get to airports early.”
FAAN stated: “The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria wishes to advise passengers and airport users, particularly those at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja to get to the airport early so as to complete their check-in procedures in good time and avoid the unpleasant experiences associated with missing their flights,” the statement added.
FAAN further stated that it has become necessary, as passengers are likely to go through a little delay at the entrance to the terminals, due to built-up vehicular traffic occasioned by an increase in passenger traffic being witnessed presently.
Recall that airfare across Nigeria have recently increased by as much as 100%. Ticket fares to cities like Port Harcourt, Ilorin, and northern states like Kebbi, Borno, Adamawa and Kano have increased by as much as 100% in the last month.
