BREAKING: Federal Government Shuts Lagos International Airport For Eight Weeks by Starpotter: 9:01pm On Mar 13, 2023
The federal government announced a plan to shut the runway at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Ikeja, Lagos State, for eight weeks

According to a tweet by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on Monday, March 13, 2023, the move is to carry out maintenance work.

The Authority reiterated its commitment to safety, security, and comfort – its core values.

“This is to notify the public that runway 18R/36L of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, has been closed for eight weeks for maintenance work to carried out.

“Taxi way B-18L will be used for all flight operations,” it said.

Earlier, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency had closed down the international runway for repairs.

Now, eight months later, the Runway 18 left at the domestic wing of the airport has been closed as well.

This closure was necessary for contractors to install the airfield ground lighting system which had been neglected for over 15 years.

The closure has caused difficulties for domestic airlines, as they have had to share the 18/Right runway with international airlines
