The newly inaugurated international Terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja welcomed its first international flight today with 91 passengers on board from Lome, Togo.
President Mohammadu Buhari inaugurated the terminal on the 20th of December, 2018.
In an interview last year on the terminal, the Managing Director FAAN, Saleh Dunoma had assured that both the airlines and passengers would experience a great difference compared to what they were used to in the old terminal in terms of space and passengers’ processing equipment.
According to him, FAAN was committed to meeting the needs arising from the expected increase in the number of passengers and aircraft movement by proving adequate manpower.
“We expect that each and every passenger will see the difference in terms of facilitation and comfort and also the speed at which we will be processing passengers.
“The expectation is that it will take only very few minutes for you to go through either departure or arrival process.
“The old terminal will handle the domestic and sub-regional operations while the new terminal will handle international operations.
