Gridlock at Abuja Airport: FAAN advises intending passengers on time management
It appears the traffic congestion on airport roads in Nigeria may not abate anytime soon, as intending travellers are advised to be time-conscious in planning their flights.
In what appears to be the only solution at the moment, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has advised intending travellers and other airport users, particularly those at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, to leave their homes/hotels early in order to beat traffic on the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Road (Airport Road).
The Authority said this will enable them to arrive at the airport early so as to complete their check-in procedures in good time, and avoid the unpleasant experiences associated with missing their flights.
In a statement signed by the General Manager, Corporate Affairs, FAAN, Mrs. Henrietta Yakubu, the Authority said “this advice 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 increase in passenger traffic being witnessed presently.”
The Authority assured passengers and other airport users that all hands are on deck to ensure swift facilitation of alternatives that will reduce the traffic congestion to the barest minimum.
