Passengers traffic increasing at Abuja airport: FAAN
FAAN managing director Rabiu Yadudu has applauded the yearly increase in passengers traffic at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja.
Mr Yadudu, represented by the FAAN director of airport operation, Muktar Muye, disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja during his goodwill message at the NAIA 40th anniversary.
According to him, as of August, the airport processed 3,247,484 domestic and 638,502 international passengers.
The FAAN boss affirmed that Abuja airport had eight domestic airlines operating with a daily average of 65 flights and 11,774 passengers and 12 international carriers with an average of 10 flights and 3,034 passengers daily.
“NAIA is not just one of Nigeria’s most important airports in terms of positioning, capacity and revenue generation; it is also the airport that serves Nigeria’s FCT, the seat of national governance, so it is both strategic and highly significant,” explained Mr Yadudu.
He added, “Just like the stages in the product life cycle, a concept in marketing; which are introduction, growth, maturity and decline, the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja came into being 40 years ago.”
According to Mr Yadudu, in 2021, the airport processed 5,323,905 passengers through the airport, a 37.23 per cent increase compared to 2020 figures.
