The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has reopened the domestic runway of Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos to flight operations, barely four months after it closed it for installation of a ground lighting system.
Recall that the Runway, technically referred to as Runway 18L/36R was temporarily closed to flight operations on the 8th of July, 2022, to allow for the completion of its ground lighting system.
FAAN in statement said: “With the project satisfactorily completed, the Runway can now be used for flight operations as necessary safety infrastructure; approach lights, runway threshold lights, runway centre line lights, and runway edge lights have all been fully installed.
“The Authority uses this opportunity to express her appreciation to our stakeholders, particularly the airline operators, for their perseverance, cooperation and collaboration while the project lasted.”
