Travelers and stakeholders have been warned to prepare alternative arrangements to avoid missing flights and appointments by the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) branch of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
As a result of a two-day strike by various aviation unions, FAAN’s management at the Abuja airport issued the warning in a statement on Monday, stating that it could affect regularly scheduled flight operations.
According to the authority, NAIA would be open for operations as usual. It, however, warned that passengers may experience “disruptions in flight operations due to the planned strike action”.
The aviation authority also said it regrets any inconvenience that may be faced by travellers.
“The management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, wishes to inform the general public of the aviation union’s planned two-day warning strike scheduled to start Monday, April 17, 2023,” FAAN said.
It added, “Intending passengers and stakeholders are kindly advised and noted to make contingency plans to avoid missing their flights and appointments. Any inconvenience experienced is highly regretted.”
