The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says flight operations have been moved from the old terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, to the new one (terminal two).
In a statement on Thursday, the agency also urged travellers to arrive at the airport three hours before departure.
This, FAAN said, would allow the check-in process to be done in time.
“This is to inform the travelling public that flight Operations have been moved from the Old Murtala Muhammed International Airport terminal (TI) to the new terminal (T2),” the statement reads.

“FAAN uses this medium to appeal to passengers to always get to the airport ‘At least three hours’ before their departure time to ensure that check-in activities are concluded in good time.”
The announcement comes one week after Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation and aerospace development, directed all airlines to vacate the old terminal from October 1, 2023.
Keyamo said the relocation was necessary to give room for total maintenance work at the airport.
