The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has banned non-travellers from coming into the airports, as part of the new protocols ahead of the resumption of commercial flights in the country.
The Authority, via its via Twitter on Wednesday, advised persons coming to pick up arriving passengers to remain in their cars until travellers exit airports’ entrances.
“Non-travelling passengers will not be allowed into the Airport Terminal Buildings. People coming to pick up arriving passengers are advised to remain in their cars until passengers exit the gate. Stay safe,” it said.
Announcing the new protocol on Monday via its Twitter handle, the FAAN said that the early arrival by travellers would enable efficient checks and screening before boarding.
“COVID-19 Flight Resumption Protocol for Passengers: You are advised to arrive at the airport three hours before your flight due to the new COVID-19 safety checks,” it wrote.
The authority also disclosed that persons not wearing their face masks would not be allowed into airports’ premises.
The FAN, therefore, urged travellers to maintain two metre distance from each other at the airports.
