Air passengers will experience a delay in boarding as Management of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, Monday, announced a temporary disruption, which it said would affect flight operations at its domestic terminals.
According to an operational update, the disruption will specifically impact baggage processing.
It blamed the disruption on a technical glitch with baggage screening equipment within the terminal, which has slowed standard processing procedures.

To minimise disruption, the airport management said it has proactively activated alternative screening procedures using available equipment to ensure flights continue operating safely.
“However, these additional steps may result in longer processing times and possible delays to some departures.
