Federal airports fully insured, says FAAN chief
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria on Wednesday said all federal airports managed by the authority are fully insured.
The managing director and chief executive of FAAN, Olubunmi Kuku, gave the clarification while responding to claims that the airports were not insured.
Ms Kuku also clarified that the insurance was up-to-date, with available records to back it up.
She said, “De-rubberisation and runway hygiene have been done; in fact, records are available to show.
“Other areas I will concur are habitation and community issues that have impacted the wildlife and bird strikes, and we have been working closely with relevant stakeholders to control.
“The historical runway issues based on structural and engineering issues on some of the runways, along with those exceeding their lifespan, are being corrected gradually with complete overhauls and maintenance.”
De-rubberisation is the process of removing rubber deposits on the runway to enhance the landing grip of aircraft tyres.
In other words, it is aimed at better landing on the runways.
