The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Wednesday witnessed low activities as a result of the inauguration of new administrations at federal and state levels.
NAN reports that the airport witnessed a decreased movement of passengers and aircraft at the domestic and international wings.
It quotes the station manager of Max Air, Mr. Kehinde Ogunwale, as saying that air traffic was very low even though there was no restriction of flights at the airport.
Ogunwale said traffic at the airport was unusually scanty, adding that all the airlines’ counters were very quiet.
“There is no traffic at all; it is very low because of the inauguration.
“Everywhere is quiet because we are not doing normal flights today since there are no passengers,” he said.
Similarly, an official of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) who pleaded anonymity, said passenger movement was normal at the international wing.
He said some foreign airlines had arrived while Ethiopian Airlines was being expected to land about 11:30.
He said many international passengers were being checked in to board their flights.
At the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) where charter operations take place, he said few private jets had landed with few dignitaries making their way to the city.
According to him, only a few domestic airlines had arrived and departed in the morning because there was not much traffic.
