domestic runways 18L and 36R at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos to install an airfield ground lighting system.The agency said the installations would commence July 8 and are expected to be completed in 90 days.But in the letter, AON said the closure is taking a toll on its members’ operations as more cost has been incurred.“The AON welcomes the effort by FAAN to install runway lighting on runway 18L, at last,” the letter reads in part.
The group said for such infrastructure projects on runway 18L, FAAN ought to have ensured that the contractor does the work at night, when the runway is not in use to limit the impact on flight operations. “Moreover, the additional taxi time due to closure of runway 18L impacts negatively on airlines’ schedule to sunset airports around the country leading to delays and cancellation of flights to these airports.
“In order to forestall a backlash and total shutdown of the system, airlines are hoping to resort to an introduction of a fuel surcharge of between 25 percent – 40 percent of NUC as a way of offsetting the additional burden brought about by increased fuel cost, bearing in mind that jet fuel accounts for about 40 percent of total operational expenses.”
