The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has taken delivery of new electric buses as part of efforts to modernise airport operations, improve mobility and promote environmentally sustainable transportation across the country’s airports.

The development is expected to enhance airside operations, strengthen service efficiency and support the authority’s commitment to improving the quality of services within Nigeria’s aviation sector.

FAAN disclosed the development in a statement, describing the acquisition as part of “its broader drive towards operational excellence, improved mobility and the adoption of cleaner transportation alternatives across the aviation ecosystem.”

According to the authority, the introduction of electric buses reflects its determination to build safer, smarter and more environmentally responsible airports through the modernisation of infrastructure and operational services.

The electric buses are expected to support airport activities by providing an alternative means of transportation for personnel and other authorised airside movements, helping to improve operational coordination and efficiency.

The initiative also aligns with growing efforts across the global aviation industry to reduce the environmental impact of airport operations by adopting electric vehicles and other cleaner energy solutions.

FAAN said it remained focused on strengthening airport infrastructure and services while embracing innovations that would improve efficiency and sustainability.

The latest development forms part of the authority’s broader commitment to transforming Nigeria’s airport facilities into safer, more efficient and environmentally conscious aviation hubs.
