Abuja airport fg extends repairs by 18 extra weeks

According to recent reports, the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) in Abuja, Nigeria has extended the repairs of its runway by 18 extra weeks. This means that the airport will now be closed for repairs until the end of October 2023, instead of the initial planned reopening in mid-2023.

The extension was reportedly due to the complexity of the repairs and the need to ensure that the work is done to the highest standards. The airport's management had initially planned to reopen the airport in mid-2023, but the extension will now push the reopening date to the end of October.

The repairs are being carried out to upgrade the airport's infrastructure and improve its safety and efficiency. The project involves the reconstruction of the runway, taxiways, and aprons, as well as the installation of new navigation aids and other safety features.

The extension of the repairs is likely to cause some inconvenience to travelers and airlines, but it is hoped that the end result will be a safer and more efficient airport that can handle increased traffic and demand.
