Federal Airport Authority Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has reopened the domestic runway (18L/36R) of Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos State for flight services.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that in July FAAN said the domestic runways 18L and 36R will be closed for 90 days to enable the installation of navigational facilities.
FAAN had planned to install approach lights, runway lights (threshold and centre, edge light) and others on the runway, which until the closure could only operate sunrise services.
The aviation agency said after the installation of the new aids, the runway would operate both sunrise and sunset flights, which would further ease the burden of operators.
