Breaking: FAAN discontinues passenger service charge sticker

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has discontinued the use of its Passenger Service Charge sticker at the departure gate of local airports.

This is contained in a press statement FAAN made available to TheNewsGuru, saying, henceforth, departing passengers who have checked-in prior to arrival at the airport can proceed directly to the boarding gates.

“As part of efforts aimed at easing passenger facilitation at the nation’s airports, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has automated the collection of Passenger Service Charge at her local airports,” the FAAN statement read.

FAAN said this is in line with the directive by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) that check-in procedures at the airports be streamlined to improve the facilitation of passengers.

“With this development, the use of the Passenger Service Charge sticker at the departure gate was discontinued with effect from Monday 19th March 2018.

“Henceforth, departing passengers who have checked-in prior to arrival at the airport can proceed directly to the boarding gates,” FAAN stated.
