FAAN

FAAN clarified that smoke from the terminal’s fire suppression system, not an actual fire, caused the emergency at Lagos airport. The initial report had mentioned a fire, but preliminary findings attributed the incident to the suppression system.

Benin Airport runway closure by FAAN following an Enugu Air runway excursion has disrupted airline operations, leading United Nigeria Airlines and Air Peace to suspend flights to and from the airport.

FAAN is implementing the V-Pass facial recognition system to enhance security in domestic air travel by preventing impersonation, unauthorized access, and identity fraud. The system aims to improve passenger authentication confidence for security agencies.

FAAN defends a revised airport cab tariff and vehicle upgrade policy, citing improved passenger safety and service quality. Operators are accused of not complying despite having sufficient time to adjust, while protests persist against the policy.
