FAAN PARTNERS GLOBACOM TO LAUNCH WIFI AT ALL AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has partnered   Nigeria’s multinational telecommunications company, Globacom Ltd,   to launch a nationwide Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) facility across all the airports in the country

.The facility will enable passengers waiting at airports and other airport users to connect to the internet through their smart phones, tablets, laptops and other smart devices. -

At the launch of the facility at the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, the Managing Director of FAAN, Mr. Saleh Dunoma, said the launch was a realization of the Aviation Ministry’s commitment to improve passenger experience in the country.

He further revealed that the facility, which would be available at both the domestic and the international wings of the Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt airports was made  possible by the great vision and passion demonstrated by the ministry of aviation and FAAN “working diligently with Globacom.”

Also speaking, Globacom’s regional chief marketing officer, Mr. Ashok Israni, said all passengers using the airport irrespective of the network they are on would be able to connect to the facility.
“They will subsequently be directed to a subscription page where they will be able to buy a Wi-Fi data plan through three options. The options include using an existing data plan the subscriber has with Globacom, or by recharging their line through a Glo recharge card available at the Glo kiosks at the airport, or by paying for the Wi-Fi plan through a credit card.
“Whichever option a subscriber goes for, they are ushered into a world of reliable, ultra-fast internet so that they can keep in touch with their relatives, friends, colleagues and associates regardless of whether they are connected to a mobile network or not,” he said.
