The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has advised airlines across the country to urgently review and adjust their flight schedules ahead of the Christmas season. The agency said the annual surge in passenger traffic typically leads to significant delays and cancellations, and proactive planning is necessary to ease the anticipated travel pressure.

According to FAAN, many of the operational challenges experienced during the yuletide period stem from unrealistic scheduling and inadequate capacity planning by airlines. By aligning flight times more accurately with available resources and peak-hour demands, the authority believes overall service efficiency can be improved, ensuring smoother operations for both passengers and carriers.

With millions of Nigerians preparing to travel for holiday reunions, religious festivities and end-of-year activities, the pressure on airports is expected to intensify. The real test now is clear: will the airlines implement meaningful adjustments that truly spare travellers the frustration of seasonal delays? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news
