The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) chapter at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) has advised passengers and stakeholders to make contingency plans to avoid missing flights and appointments.

The advisory was issued by FAAN’s management at the Abuja airport on Monday in response to a two-day strike by some aviation unions, which it said could disrupt scheduled flight operations.

According to the authority, the NAIA will be open for business as usual. It did, however, warn passengers that “disruptions in flight operations may occur as a result of 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 note so as to make contingency plans in order to avoid missing their flights and appointments. Any inconvenience experienced is highly regretted.”
