The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, on Monday, assured air travellers and other airport users of safety, security and comfort as the yuletide holidays approach.
FAAN said it has heightened security arrangements including the upgrade of facilities and infrastructure at airports to ensure the safety of air travellers.
General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Henrietta Yakubu, disclosed this in a statement titled ‘Yuletide: FAAN Assures Air Travellers Of Safety, Security.’
The statement read in part, “FAAN is fully prepared to play host to the myriads of passengers and other airport users that usually transit through the airports for the yuletide holidays.
“The Authority has heightened security arrangements at the airports, put necessary measures to ensure the safety of air travellers, as well as upgrade facilities and infrastructure at the airports to ensure maximum comfort for our esteemed customers.
“While advising air travellers to strictly comply with all Covid-19 protocols e.g. nose-masking, physical distancing, PCR test, as well as vaccine requirements (where applicable), we will like to advise passengers to please get to the airports early to conclude all check-in formalities in good time, so as to avoid the unpleasant experiences of missing their flights. This is important because of the heavy passenger traffic that is usually the norm around this time.
“As we join the world to wish our esteemed customers Merry Christmas and a most prosperous new year, we will also like to remind stakeholders and the general public that giving and taking of bribes are strictly prohibited at our airports, and measures have been put in place to arrest any erring official or individual.” Punch.
