Nigeria’s flagship privately operated airport terminal, Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2 (MMA2), Lagos, has been on reform, as the operators left no stone unturned for good services and satisfaction of users.
The Wale Babalakin Bi-Courtney Aviation Services (BASL) operated MMA2, few months ago spent about $500,000 to import a sizeable number of X-ray machines to enhance and accelerate the screening of passengers and cargoes and massive resources were also deployed to upgrade the air conditioning system for the comfort of passengers.
BASL in a statement said upgrading the facilities is part of the company’s determination to provide Nigerians a standard airport terminal that is comparable to those available in developed economies.
Just as expected, the new x-ray machines and air conditioners ordered by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL ) arrived the country in the first week of March, 2021. Installation were carried out immediately.
The BASL Spokesman quoted the acting Head of Business of the company, Ralph Uchegbu as saying that “the installation of the new X-ray machines and air conditionals will further re-inforce the status of MMA2 as the nation’s pre-eminent airport terminal in terms of customers security and comfort.”
These upgrade attracted applauds and recommendation from airport users and Nigerians, as a happy Nigerian voiced out:
” As I entered MMA2, the airport owned and managed by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (‘‘BASL’’), I began praying for the company and its promoter, Dr. Wale Babalakin. I wished I had his phone number; I wanted to thank him for his efforts in elevating the standard of airport operation in Nigeria and showing that Nigerians also deserve good things. Even though I do not have Dr. Babalakin’s phone number, I look forward to meeting him someday to congratulate him for the civilizing effect he has had on Nigeria.
“I respectfully appeal to BASL and Dr. Wale Babalakin to please keep the flag flying. May the Almighty God keep giving BASL and Dr. Wale Babalakin the strength to continue believing that one day our nation, Nigeria, will wake up to reality.”
