Abuja airport: FAAN now to enforce new toll fare August 1

The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has shifted the date for the implementation of the new  toll fare at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja from July 17 to August 1, 2023.

A statement from FAAN in Abuja on Sunday said the postponement aimed to allow airport users to continue benefiting from the current charges for a little longer.

Under the new tariff, the fare for cars will increase from N200 to N300, while buses and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) will experience a change from N300 to N500.

Similarly, the tariff for trucks (six tyres) will move from N500 to N1,000, and for trailers and containers, it will be N2,000.

The management urged the public to take note of the changes in the effective date and tariff, while also appealing to vehicle owners to utilise the dedicated “park and pay” car parks provided for the convenience of airport users.

The statement emphasized the importance of adhering to the drop-off zones rules and regulations to facilitate smooth traffic flow and maintain a serene environment around the airport. Commercial drivers are reminded to use the drop-off zone solely for dropping passengers, as the airport already has registered car hire services (FAAN TAXI, BOLT, UBER) available along the airport exit way for passenger pick-up.

For the comfort of frequent fliers and high-status individuals, an exclusive parking lot is designated for heads of MDAs, MDs of private companies, and other recognized individuals, with VIP parking stickers available for those seeking VIP parking privileges.
