The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has provided clarity on the recent concerns about airport gate fee and e-tags. This was contained in a post on its official X handle @FAAN_Official
1. Who needs to pay the access gate Fee?
a. Every airport user coming into the Airport Environment through the access gate.
2. How do I pay my access gate fees?
a. You can pay with cash or with your card, using the POS terminal at the access gate.
3. What is an E-Tag and why do I need an E-Tags?
a. An e-tag, short for electronic tag, is a device used for electronic toll collection, enabling vehicles to pass through toll booths without stopping. The e-tag is typically attached to the windshield of a vehicle and communicates wirelessly with toll collection systems, automatically deducting the toll fee from a prepaid account or charging it to a registered payment method. This technology helps reduce traffic congestion and speeds up the toll collection process.
4. Do I need an E-tag at all airports in Nigeria?
a. No, an E-tag is only used in Lagos & Abuja Airports. Stickers are sold for access at other Airports.
5. Is the E-Tag compulsory for everyone going through the access gate?
a. No, you can pay per entry into the airport with cash or with your card, using the POS terminal at the access gate.
6. Is the E-Tag transferrable?
a. No, the E-tag is registered to a particular vehicle and must be stuck on the screen of the vehicle (Drivers Side) in order to gain access through the gate.
7. Would I be required to pay at the car park after purchasing an E-Tag?
a. Yes, the E-Tag gives you access into the airport but paying to park for a period at the Airport is charged differently. Only VIP tags are used for access into the VIP car park.
8. What is the validity of the E-tag?
a. It is valid for one (1) year.
