“This is to notify the public that runway 18R/36L of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos has been closed for 8 weeks for Maintenance work to be carried out,” the statement reads.

“Taxiway B-18L will be used for all flight operations.”

Checks on NOTAM, a notice containing information essential to personnel concerned with flight operations, shows that the runaways have already been closed and are scheduled to be opened in May 2022.

In June 2022, the agency had closed runways 18L/36R of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), for renovation for 90 days.

During the period the runways were closed, airline operators said they incurred huge losses due to the shutdown, despite assurances by FAAN that operations would not be affected.
