The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has disclosed that all payments at its revenue points, such as access gates, car parks, FAAN VIP, and protocol lounges, will shift to contactless, cashless payment systems commencing from Monday, September 29, 2025, which was disclosed in a statement on its official X account on Thursday.
The statement reads, “The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in partnership with Paystack, is proud to announce the roll-out of OPERATION GO CASHLESS, a cashless contactless payment solution across all airports beginning with Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
“Effective September 29, 2025, all payments at FAAN’s revenue points, including airport access gates, car parks, and FAAN VIP and protocol lounges, will go cashless, which means we will be phasing out the collection of cash at these points. Travelers and airport users will now enjoy fast and seamless services by using a secure contactless payment option.”
The agency stated that the recent development was to reduce dependence on cash in order to improve efficiency, reduce revenue leakage, therefore providing an enhanced customer experience at airports.
