The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced a planned one-hour power shutdown at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Wednesday, June 5.

Obiageli Orah, FAAN’s spokesperson, made this known in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos.

Ms Orah said the International Terminal 2 ( ITZ-2) would be shut down for maintenance between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

She said it was due to the urgent need to verify the issues affecting the Bus Riser 11K VA high-tension (HT) panel on the ground floor, north of the international terminal 2 (ITZ-2) of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.

Ms Orah said FAAN would ensure that the power supply shutdown would cause minimal disruption to flight operations and passenger facilitation.

“The identified airlines, namely Rwanda Air (WB), EgyptAir (MS) and Qatar Air (QR) that operate within the maintenance hour will be relocated for check-in and arrival (parking) formalities at the international terminal 1(ITZ-1).

“All intending passengers on these flights should please take note.

“The Authority regrets any inconveniences this might cause our stakeholders and the travelling public,” she noted.

Ms Orah said FAAN was committed to world-class safety standards and service to all airport users.
