Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) marks 17 years of operation at Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2, showcasing enhanced service and growth plans. The operator also highlights the kind of ripple effects regional operations commencement would have on it and airlines.
In a recent media briefing, BASL’s Acting COO, Oluremi Jibodu, reflected on the terminal’s evolution since its inaugural Chanchangi Airline flight. Today, it hosts ten domestic carriers, fostering an ecosystem of 90 businesses.
Jibodu emphasized Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited’s commitment to ongoing enhancements. The terminal, he hints, caters to over 10,000 daily guests and driving significant infrastructure development. Plans include terminal expansion and advancing technology for heightened security.
Regarding future strategies, Jibodu outlined ambitions for expanded terminal facilities and the launch of regional flights. This evolution aims to centralize domestic airline operations, increase transit revenue, stimulate job creation, and elevate connectivity.
“This expansion will open new revenue opportunities, benefiting all stakeholders involved. The ripple effects from increased foot traffic in our terminal to enhanced commercial opportunities will be felt far and wide.
He noted that while regional operations’ launch date remains uncertain, progress is evident through sustained infrastructure improvements and strategic investment. The company is closer than ever to realizing this milestone.
“They have inspected the facility, and looking at what we have today, it has not changed but we have improved it.”. In terms of cost, the cost is: we have to maintain the infrastructure we have. Every day, whether we have started the regional operations or not we have committed funds on those infrastructure.”
