The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced the temporary closure of Runway 18R/36L at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, for further rehabilitation work.

The closure, scheduled for March 3 and 4, 2025, comes just two weeks after the runway was reopened following an almost 11-month maintenance shutdown.

According to a memo dated February 28, 2025, from FAAN’s Head of Operations, Mrs. J.U. Nwosu, the closure is necessary due to the rehabilitation work (asphalt phase) at A2 Taxiway-link of the runway.

“It is considered necessary to close the runway due to the protruding construction equipment which may likely become a potential hazard to any landing and departing aircraft,” the memo reads.

The alternative runway 18L/36R will be in active use during the period. FAAN has advised all technical departments to constantly inspect facilities to ensure everything is in place, including grass management, security, and 24-hour surveillance.

“It is pertinent to know that all the measures associated with total runway closure will be applied hence, adequate facility protection is necessary,” the memo adds.
