FAAN COMMENCES
AUTOMATION OF REVENUE POINTS
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) is set to commence the implementation of the automation of revenue points in all our airports.
In the first instance, the automation of aviation fuel supply to aircraft by marketers has been completed. All the eleven (11) fuel marketers have been fully integrated into the information platform.
The access toll gate of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja has been completed. The automated gate is currently undergoing a test run and will be fully operational with effect from May 1, 2013.
Every vehicle passing through the toll gate will be identified electronically after scanning the provided stickers on such vehicles.
The new measure enhances security as the Authority is able to monitor vehicles within the airport environment at any point in time. The system also increases efficiency, transparency, tracking vehicular traffic and ensuring security of persons and airport environment.
In order to ensure smooth implementation of the project, there are three modes of payment for passage through the access gates.
One is through cash payment of the appropriate fee. The other option is through ‘E’ payment, i.e. the machine reads the tag on the windscreen and opens electronically. The third mode of payment it through a smart card whereby, you swipe your card at the machine and access is allowed.
The automation process will affect all revenue points including car Hire services, aviation fuel surcharge and fuel bowsers.
