The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced that maintenance work will be conducted on the runway at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Ikeja, Lagos State, which will result in its closure.
In a tweet on Monday, March 13, 2023, the organization announced that the maintenance work on the runway at Airport (MMIA) will take eight weeks
According to the statement, Flights will be redirected to Taxiway B-18L.
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.
