Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has said that the bush fire incident reported at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri did not affect movement as normal flight operations continue unhindered.
A statement signed by Henrietta Yakubu , General Manager, Corporate Affairs said that officers of the Air Rescue and Fire Fighting Services are presently on ground and fire fighting is in progress.
“The Authority will like to appeal to host communities around airports to please desist from burning bushes around the airports as this act is capable of jeopardising safety of flight operations because of the prevailing weather condition in the country,” the statement warned.
