Murtala Muhammad Airport 2 continues flight operation as FAAN shelves threats

- The management of the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 has continued its flight operation

- The development came after Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria agreed to shelve move to withdraw its services to the terminal over alleged indebtedness

- Earlier, FANN had alleged that MMA failed to remit N3.9 billion since it began operations in September 8, 2007

The management of the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2) in Lagos on Monday, December 10, continued flight operations following the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)'s decision to shelve plans of withdrawing its services to the terminal over alleged indebtedness.

NAN reports that FAAN had, in a notice to airmen, stated that it would be withdrawing aviation security, fire fighting and rescue operations to MMA2 effective from Sunday, December 9.

Legit.ng gathers that however, the general manager of corporate affairs of FAAN, Henrietta Yakubu, confirmed to newsmen that negotiations had resumed between the agency and Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) operators of the MMA2.

A journalist, who monitored the situation, observed that only Arik Air had moved its Port Harcourt flights temporarily back to the general aviation terminal of the airport operated by FAAN due to the threat.

Other airlines operating at the MMA2, which are Medview, Max Air, Dana Air, Aero Contractors and Azman Air, flew their passengers without any hindrances.

Recall that FAAN had claimed that the MMA2 was indebted to the agency to the tune of N3.9 billion since it began operations on September 8, 2007.

FAAN claimed the money was for the provision of electricity, rent and conference and hotel and the 5 % remittance as agreed in the contract.

In a letter addressed to the chief executive officer of BASL, in November, FAAN gave the breakdown of the indebtedness as at July 31 as N1.4 billion for provision of Aviation Security (AVSEC), another N143 million for fire/safety cost, N2.1 million for marshalling and N1.9 billion for management cost.

Similarly, FAAN had also issued similar threats to Gombe, Kebbi , and Bebi airports.
