The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has said the closure of Runway 18R/36L at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, for rehabilitation will not affect flight operations.
FAAN said this in a statement signed by its Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, FAAN, Mrs Obiageli Orah while confirming the closure of the runway for repair.
The closure started from 3.00 a.m. on Monday. It will end at 11.59 p.m. on Tuesday.
According to Orah, the closure is due to ongoing rehabilitation work (asphalt phase) at the A2 Taxiwaylink of the runway.
She said that it was part of ongoing efforts to ensure that the runway would remain in optimal condition.
“There will be no disruption to flight operations during this period as all flights would be redirected to the alternative runway, 18L/36R,” she said.
She emphasised FAAN’s commitment to the safety, security and comfort of airport users. (NAN)
