FAAN Working To Improve On Runway Safety
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has commenced an intensive re-assessment of runways at the nation’s airports.
This move is aimed at improving on the efficiency of the facilities, thereby forestalling potential accidents on the runways.
Although, the regular friction measurement for Port Harcourt International Airport was conducted in March 2019 and the result falls within the minimum friction coefficient level, the facility witnessed a skidding incident recently.
It is therefore with the intention to increase the friction coefficient levels of runways in accordance with NCAA advisory circular that the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria is embarking on this exercise across the nation’s airports as the rain is becoming very heavy and unpredictable.
