The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has urged Nigerians, especially air travellers, to make early preparations for their travel during the forthcoming Eid-fitr (Sallah) celebration.
This, it noted was to avoid the rush that usually takes place during this period at major airports across the country.
According to the General Manager, Corporate Communications of FAAN,Mr Yakubu Dati, airports across the country usually witness a huge volume of passenger traffic during these holidays, due to increased local movements of passengers for people travelling for the holidays, added to those returning from different countries overseas for the same purpose.
The Authority counseled travellers to leave home early during this period, in order to confirm their tickets and complete other pre-boarding formalities in good time because of the heavy vehicular movements on access roads close to the terminals that may cause some passengers to miss their flights.
He added: "We also wish to advise vehicle owners to make use of our designated car parks when visiting the airports, whether for business or pleasure. It will help to decongest the traffic on our access roads and also help to ensure the safety of lives and property within the airports. All vehicles parked in unauthorised places will therefore be towed and appropriate fines imposed on defaulters".
