Some weeks ago, CNN published an
article on the World Worst Airports for 2015, stating that port Harcourt is the
worst in the world
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reports now that the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)
has released a statement refuting the report,
Our stand is
that the said ranking was unfounded as it did not take cognizance of the fact
that the airport terminal was still undergoing remodeling. Some of its terminal
operations are still conducted in a temporary structure.
Apart from
this, construction work is also in progress at the site of the new international
terminal. We believe that operations at such an airport where construction work
is going on simultaneously with normal flight and related operations cannot be
as conducive as in those airports where there are no on-going construction
projects.
Neither can
environments at such different scenarios be equally clean, the statement added.
"We wish to
assure all passengers, airline operators and other airport users that services
at our airports are delivered at recommended international standards that
ensure safety, security and comfort.
While we
regret any inconvenience experienced at these airports, including Port Harcourt
International Airport, due to on-going construction projects, we promise that
services at these airports will surely get better at the completion of these
projects".
