BASL highlights importance of technology in airport development

The Acting Chief Operating Officer of Bi-Courtney Aviation Service Limited (BASL), Remi Jibodu has highlighted the importance of technology in airport development.

“Technology is key to enhancing the passenger experience and operational efficiency in airports,” Jibodu said in a statement made available in Lagos.

According to him: “The design of an airport is the foundation for having a good passenger experience, and digitalisation remains one of the key solutions to passenger processing challenges.”

Jibodu emphasised that airports must be futuristic in their design to ensure development and accommodate growing passenger traffic.

At Murtala Muhammad Airport Terminal 2, he said, BASL has implemented various technological advancements, including upgraded Flight Information Display Screens and a Common User Passenger Processing System, to enhance passenger experience and operational efficiency.

“We have upgraded our systems to provide real-time updates and seamless processing, ensuring a smooth travel experience for passengers,” Jibodu added.

The terminal’s commitment to innovation extends beyond passenger processing, with initiatives such as automated parking systems and digital cold storage facilities.
