FAAN To Fence Kaduna Airport

In a bid to address the problem of continued incursion of animals into the runways, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has awarded the contract for the perimeter fencing of Kaduna Airport.

The Airport Manager, Alhaji Garba Ringim said the contractor was at the site last week in preparation for work.

He said in the interim that FAAN security men were on constant patrol of the airport to prevent animal incursion into the airside.

According to him, “there is a standing directive to the patrol team to ensure that all obstacles, especially cows and human intruders, are cleared before the take-off or landing of any flight with the assistance of the Air Traffic Controllers”.

Meanwhile, Arik Air has opened new sales offices in Calabar and Uyo. These offices were opened by the airline’s Vice President Commercial, Kevin Steele.

The opening of the sales offices follow the appointment of Remlords Travels and Tours as Arik Air’s first General Sales Agent (GSA) in Nigeria.

Remlords will promote and sell Arik Air’s products and services in both Cross River and Akwa Ibom states.

Speaking on this initiative, Steele said “the new offices will bring Arik Air’s products and services closer to our guests in Cross River and Akwa Ibom states . It is easier to book tickets in Uyo and Calabar to fly in Lagos and Abuja and enjoy Arik Air’s services”.
