The runway of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, will again be closed this weekend for what aviation authorities have termed the second phase of the repair.
This was contained in a statement this afternoon by the head of media relations of aviation parastatals, Mr Yakubu Dati. He said the second phase of the repair of the runway would take place between 12 and 14 July.
“The runway rehabilitation is being done in two phases to minimize the inconvenience the runway closure would have on air passengers and aircraft operators if it was carried out at once,” Mr Dati said. “A NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) to this effect has already been sent to all aircraft pilots and other relevant stakeholders, informing them of the impending closure.”
He regretted the inconvenience the closure would cause passengers and other stakeholders.
It would be recalled that the airport was first shut last weekend and reopened on Monday.
