The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced the resumption of flight operations at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja new terminal after fire scare yesterday.
FAAN’s Regional General Manager, North Central, Mr. Sani Mahmud, told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that normalcy had since returned to the terminal.
“This is to inform you that Turkish Airlines’ Abuja-Istanbul, THY FLT TK064 enroute ABV-IST has commenced checking in processes in the NITZ and everything has been hitch free,”.
There was commotion earlier resulting in the suspension of operations at the new terminal when smoke emerged from a section of the facility. FAAN later explained that there was no fire outbreak, that the incident was as a result of the system that came up when it sensed high ambient temperatures and sprays (powder) fire extinguishing agent, which was assumed by the people to be smoke.
