The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has suspended the controversial Nigeria Air Project and airport concessioning embarked upon by the immediate-past administration.
On his maiden visit to the Murtala Muhammed Airport Lagos, Keyamo said he has suspended all plans and arrangements concerning the proposed national carrier, Nigeria Air.
On the relocation of foreign airlines to the new Lagos terminal, Keyamo noted that the reason the new Lagos terminal had been underutilized was that it could not take wide-bodied aircraft, saying the airlines would be using the terminal while government would procure big buses to convey passengers.
He also said that the old international terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos would be shut down by October 1, 2023, for renovation.
According to the minister, all private hangars would be relocated to pave the way for expansion of the new terminal.
