The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), has disclosed plans to expand the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) in Lagos.
The Authority, in a statement on Friday, Henrietta Yakubu (Mrs.), general manager, Corporate Affairs at FAAN, said the plan is part of efforts to improve on infrastructure and service delivery at the General Aviation Terminal (GAT), Lagos
FAAN said the Zulu wing of the GAT is where the expansion will take place.
“The expansion project, which will commence any moment from now, will only hamper passenger facilitation minimally at the terminal, as normal passenger check-in will not be affected in any way.
“However, the Protocol and VIP lounge at the terminal will be affected, as the facilities will be relocated temporarily till the end of the project, since major construction works will be carried out in that axis of the terminal.
“Meanwhile, the Authority is already making arrangements for temporary spaces to be used as Protocol and VIP lounges, while the project is being executed.
“When the expansion project is completed, the terminal would have been enhanced in terms of capacity, aesthetics and passenger comfort, as the expected and expanded new lounges will be twice what is presently on ground”, Yakubu said.
“The Authority will like to appeal to passengers and other airport users to please be patient and bear with us for any inconvenience, while the project will last.
“We will continue to give more updates on the project, as the need arises”, the statement concludes.
