The Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Ltd. (BASL), operators of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Two (MMA2) in Lagos, say they have begun free internet service to passengers travelling through the terminal.

According to a statement signed and issued by the company’s spokesman, Mr Steve Omolale-Ajulo, the company said the service was in conjunction with iWayafrica and MultiChoice Nigeria.

“The first phase of the project has already started from the Final Departure lounge. This is one of the numerous Christmas gifts BASL is giving to its passengers.

“Other locations at the terminal, such as the Food Court, Meeters & Greeters, as well as KFC are to be considered for the facility very soon.

“More ambitious projects to make MMA2 the best terminal in Africa will be executed in the New Year,” it said.

The statement noted that the Wi-Fi Hotspot solution at the terminal would be the first of its kind in any airport terminal in Africa.

It says that the facility will enable users of the terminal access the world while waiting to board their flights.
“We’re really making the travel experience unique. We are the only airport terminal in Africa to offer free Wi-Fi to passengers.

“When it comes to working, investing and maintaining in the interest of the Nigerian public, we will make sure we remain far ahead,” it said.

It was an example or evidence of exuberant journalism.

The journalist probably meant to report "The first of its kind in WEST Africa"

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport allows travellers wireless internet access at designated areas within the airport.

The airport is the first in East Africa to have the wireless link that allows travellers to use personal laptop computers or other hand-held cordless devices to communicate through the internet.

Kenya became the second country in Africa after South Africa to have hotspots at their international airports.

Thank you. Virtually all the airports in South Africa have WiFi hotspots and I can bet they are free to transiting passengers.

Na today?
I used it while flying out two weeks ago!
In fact, i was pleasantly surprised it authenticated and connected my phone,
I quickly used it to download some heavy game files

Good for MMA2. Wifi wasn't free in Schipol Airport, Amsterdam last time I transited through Netherlands.

Guys will have to be careful using that wifi most especially to access sensitive information.

I'm sure pretty soon fraudsters will begin to use the wifi to gain access into people's systems and carry out phishing or malicious acts.

Red alert! We love free things and most travellers passing through the terminal will just use the opportunity to pull down files.

I do hope the project can be sustained.

Really a good idea,but certainly not the first in Africa.

Dude do some research. Airports with free wi-fi are great places for hackers to operate from. Infact never access sensitive information from a free wi-fi at any airport in the world.

@ poster,

This is a welcome development, thumbs up for the management.

Yes! Because only a pessimist survive in Nigeria. Nigerians capitalize on any positive thing to defraud someone else.

there is nothing to be optimistic about nigeria so it is best not to expect anything good from the country, that case you will neither be dissappointed nor hurt.

Now if you are a Nigerian, you should know what I'm talking about.

Don't mind the naive guy, he will understand when hackers empty his bank accout.
