within twelve months, in response to “concerns” raised by International Air Transport Association (IATA) member airlines, over the safety, security, and passenger service levels at Lagos main gateway during the past year.
The commitment followed a high-level meeting on September 15, between IATA’s Regional Vice-President for Africa and the Middle East, Kamil Al Awadhi, and FAAN Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kabir Yusuf Mohammed. According to IATA, the FAAN made an undertaking “to expedite improvements in these areas under a corrective action plan.” For its part, IATA will lend expertise that will support the FAAN as it goes about implementing the corrective action plan.
“We welcome FAAN’s commitment to upgrade Lagos airport,” said Al Awadhi. “It is the main domestic and international hub connecting Nigeria with the rest of Africa and beyond and needs to keep up with demand. This strategic focus not only enhances the aviation sector but also serves as a catalyst for Nigeria’s broader economic and social advancement. IATA stands ready to support the FAAN with expertise to ensure international standards are met through the corrective action plan.”
