The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria diverted two Kano-bound flights to Lagos as a result of unserviceable runway lighting in Kano State.
FAAN explained that the failure of the Runway 06/24 edge light at the Mallam Aminu Kano Airport, Kano to light up led to the diversion of the two Kano-bound aircraft at the weekend.
Director, Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua said, “On July 15, 2023, at about 1600hrs, the airfield maintenance team of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) observed that the runway lighting would not come on after the scheduled daily maintenance work of replacing old and weak Airfield cables with new ones at runway 06/24.”
