Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria is advising
operators of all cargo flights to find alternative entry points for their cargo
rather than the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.
Already, FAAN has advised the Nigerian Airspace
Manager Agency to issue a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to this effect.
This has become imperative due to the congestion
created by the backlog of cargo created following the two-week closure of the
terminal by the Nigerian Customs Service.
The Authority has initiated measures to accelerate
the clearance of these goods and return the situation to normalcy. Airlines and
importers are advised to make use of alternative airports.
The Authority is constrained to take this measure
for the time being for the safety and security of all concerned.
The inconvenience this might cause is highly
regretted.
