She said: “MMA2 has gained recognition for its exceptional passenger service, streamlined processes, swift check-ins, efficient baggage handling and modern cargo facility.
“Passengers can navigate MMA2 with ease, reducing the stress associated with congestion and long queues that are characteristic of other Nigerian airports.”
Olawuyi emphasised the benefits that airlines enjoy when operating from modern facilities to include, the presence of fully functional aviobridges and an ample supply of buses for remote boarding.
She conveyed a message of peace and harmony from BASL to Nigerians as they celebrate the 63rd independence anniversary.
“We wish Nigerians more fruitful celebrations of peace and harmony, just like Nigeria we have consistently demonstrated resilience in the face of challenging operational conditions.
“In these challenging times, the MMA2 stands as a beacon of efficiency, convenience, and reliability.”
The President of National Association of Nigeria Travel Agents (NANTA), Susan Akporiaye, on her part commended MMA2 for seamless facilitation, saying that it is devoid of unnecessary hassles and has the capacity to handle regional flights.
