Passengers travelling through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport will experience delays in boarding following a temporary disruption affecting domestic flight operations.

In an operational update issued on Monday, airport management said the disruption is impacting baggage processing due to a technical fault in screening equipment within the terminal.

“We understand the inconvenience and uncertainty this may cause, and we truly appreciate your patience during this time,” the statement said.

To mitigate the situation, management noted that alternative screening procedures have been introduced using available equipment to ensure flights continue to operate safely.

However, it warned that the additional measures could lead to longer processing times and possible delays to some departures.

“Our ground teams are fully mobilised and on hand to support passengers, provide updates, and prioritise affected flights.

“We are also working closely with airport authorities to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and restore normal operations,” the update added.

The airport management apologised for the inconvenience and assured passengers that efforts are ongoing to resolve the issue promptly and minimise disruption to travel plans.
