Lagos Airport Gets New Escalators, Automated Car Park



As part of its determination to change the face of terminal operations in the country and bring the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two (MMA2), Lagos, to world standard, the management of Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL), operator of MMA2, has begun the installation of new escalators at the terminal to lessen the burden of passengers and other airport users.

This is coming following constant breakdown of the escalators at the terminal building. The company also said its Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) has been fully automated in a bid to make using the facility easier.

MMA2 is the only airport terminal in the country with an MSCP, which can accommodate about 800 parked cars at once.

A statement by the spokesman of BASL, chief Steve Omolale, said two new Mitsulift escalators are being installed to replace the old ones at MMA2, adding that this was part of the infrastructure renewal scheme embarked upon by the firm in the terminal.

He further said that Bi-Courtney has positioned some of its employees close to the installation sites to give information and also assist passengers and other airport users to ensure a hitch-free exercise.

The statement added that, “Such employees, who adorn orange-colour reflective jackets are strategically positioned close to the escalator landing to courteously direct passengers and airport users to use other alternative routes within the terminal to their destinations, while the multi-million dollar project is ongoing.

We, therefore, appeal to all airport users to follow their instructions, while we will do all that is humanly possible to complete the installation sooner than expected”.

While explaining how the new automation at the car park works, Omolale said each of the three floors of the four-floor car park has a full automated entry and exit barriers and column gates.
