I wish to inform the travelling public, particularly residents of Imo State and the wider South-East on the temporary closure of Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri for improved safety, operational efficiency and capacity ahead of Christmas travel season.

The planned runway rehabilitation is a joint partnership of the Federal Government and Imo State Government.

The Governor of Imo State, H.E Senator Hope Uzodinma (to whom I spoke earlier today) along with other critical stakeholders in Imo State and South East have agreed on the need for the temporary closure of the runway, to allow for essential rehabilitation, resurfacing and extension works.

The closure is expected to commence on October 20, 2026, and last approximately 25 days. This decision is in the best interest of aviation safety and the long-term operational efficiency of the airport, which serves as a critical gateway for the people, businesses and economic activities of the South-East.

The agreement with Governor Uzodimma and other stakeholders reflects the shared commitment of the Federal Government, through the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and the Imo State Government to improving aviation infrastructure and ensuring that the airport is equipped to meet the growing demands of air travel in the region.

We wish to acknowledge the contribution of the Imo State Government to the runway extension project. This collaboration demonstrates what can be achieved when different levels of government work together in the interest of the public. Our common objective is to deliver an airport that meets the needs of its users and supports the economic development of the region.

The rehabilitation will involve repairs to deteriorated sections of the runway pavement, treatment of extensive surface cracks, filling of potholes and resurfacing of affected areas, alongside the planned runway extension. When completed, these works are expected to restore the runway to a safer and more reliable operational condition and improve its capacity to accommodate larger aircraft, including wide-body aircraft, subject to applicable operational and regulatory requirements.

The timing of this intervention is particularly important as we approach the Christmas travel season, when passenger traffic and flight movements to Owerri and other parts of the South-East traditionally increase. It is our responsibility to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is in the right condition to support safe and efficient operations during this busy period and beyond.

Whilst we recognise that the temporary closure will cause some inconvenience to passengers and other airport users, we appeal for their understanding and cooperation. Aviation safety cannot be compromised, and the closure is necessary to enable contractors to carry out the required works effectively.

The Federal Government, will continue to engage the Imo State Government, airlines and other relevant stakeholders to ensure proper coordination and minimise disruption to travellers.

Passengers scheduled to travel through Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport during the closure period are advised to contact their respective airlines for information on flight cancellations, rescheduling and alternative travel arrangements. The confirmed closure and reopening dates will be communicated through the appropriate official channels.

We appreciate Governor Hope Uzodimma and the Imo State Government for their cooperation and commitment to this important project. I also thank airlines, aviation stakeholders and the travelling public for their anticipated understanding as we undertake this necessary intervention.

Our commitment remains to provide safer, more efficient and modern aviation infrastructure across the country. The Owerri runway rehabilitation and extension project is another step towards achieving that objective and strengthening air connectivity for the South-East.

FAAN ANNOUNCES PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF OWERRI AIRPORT RUNWAY FOR REPAIRS

[Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria @FAAN_Official]

FAAN Takes Delivery of Two Ambulifts to Enhance Accessibility at MMIA

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has taken delivery of two ambulifts to be deployed at the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMIA), Lagos, as part of ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility and improve the passenger experience for persons with reduced mobility.

The addition of the ambulifts is aimed at providing the necessary assistance to passengers who may require additional support when boarding or disembarking aircrafts, ensuring they receive dignified, safe and efficient care throughout their journey.

The keys to the two ambulifts were formally handed over to NACHO Aviation Services by the Director of Airport Operations, Capt. Abdullahi Mahmood, who will oversee their deployment and operation at the airport.

The initiative underscores FAAN’s commitment to strengthening passenger facilitation services and ensuring that every passenger, regardless of mobility limitations, receives the support and assistance they deserve.
