Private jet owners barred from govt terminal
Barely
three months after unveiling a new policy for general aviation, which
barred private jet owners from carrying their friends and associates,
the Federal Government has stopped private jet owners and chartered jet
operators from using the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed
Airport in Lagos for foreign travels.
The order, which has taken effect, was
conveyed through a memo from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria
to the heads of all the security agencies operating at the MMIA.
Airport sources said some private jet owners and
chartered jet operators had stopped travelling through the international
wing of the MMIA.
As a result, private jet owners and
chartered jet passengers travelling out and coming into the country will
not go through the required security screening, including that of the
Immigration, Customs, narcotics control and the State Security Service
at the MMIA.
