The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has diverted flight processing from the Temporary Terminal 3 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, following an electrical spark in an operational office that caused smoke emission.
According to a statement by FAAN, the terminal was briefly shut down around 2:05 pm on Thursday.
“Electrical maintenance is currently ongoing to ensure that all electrical systems are functioning optimally ahead of the terminal’s reopening,” the statement read.
All flights that currently operate from Terminal 3 have been diverted to Terminal 2, and passengers are hereby advised accordingly.
FAAN assured that the situation is under control, adding that personnel of the Aerodrome Rescue and Firefighting Services promptly responded and contained the incident.
