Jakumo: Interesting design. The layout bears a vague resemblance to Los Angeles International Airport, except that the area occuped by parking structures in LAX is, in this proposed layout, occupied by a round edifice of some sort.

For artistic completion, a landmark statue depicting an arriving air traveller sprinting through a horde of "taxi-drivers" and area boys, could be erected astride the entry-way to the airport.

scipher: apc goons are No where to be found Hehehehe

doc sholz: this isn't what lagos needs now, i'd rather they use such funds for housing

Delafruita: what's this one saying?do you even know where the airport is?

Magic Bishop: FG is wrong by still investing in that ingrate State!
Besides, no matter the infrastructure the Lagos Touts and criminals will forever make this the worst airport in the world.


Meanwhile, Fascist Fash and his APC band of frauds have and continue to defraud Lagos in their phantom Lekki Airport

ba7man: Its killing you inside, abi?

Make Lagos matter no give u heart attack oo.

Magic Bishop:

Yes it is killing me because you guys will turn around and claim that you built that airport from your pockets without regard for the actually funding source from the original layout and through to this concession to the little matter of which Minister was responsible for this initiative. Yes, that woman Stella Odua that you have all taken a full time appointment to discredit.

What all your Yoruba Ministers, PermSecs and Directors could not muster an Igbo woman has laid the foundation.

ba7man: Why don't you blame Stella Oduah for not locating the New Airport in the S.E??

When i heard the FG wanted to build an Aeropolis (somthing like that) in Lagos, Abuja etc, I questioned why non was located in any S.Eastern city. At least, we all know Igbos import a lot of stuffs.

Omo_Tier1: Question: Why is there no train or mono-rail in the new airport rendering?

Abeg, see what an airport looks in the image below!

Abeg, see what an airport looks in the image below! This is Charles de Gualle one of Europe's finest airport

awodman:
As Usual you didn't disappoint...Kudos

Magic Bishop:

So that they can transport you from Gate 5 to Oshodi, abi.

Is there any rail structure on ground in Lagos? If you want to mention Fashola's light rail then don't.

It is not enough for you that they are upgrading the airport but you want them to have a rail network that will transport you to your door step, ode!

Go and ask your Governor to complete his phantom rail project first and if he finishes it at all ask him to commence linking it to the airport.

Nah FG go do everything for una?

I no blame you, nah free oil dey worry una.

Omo_Tier1:

I know most of you have not traveled far and wide to see what humanity is doing, hence when they put two slabs on the walls and call it an airport, you all jump high heaven.

Nigeria has the money to enter into a joint venture for an airport such as CDG or Pearson International in Toronto, so why can't or don't we do it? FYI, the airport shown in that CGI, can it serve 80 million passengers in a year?

Does that airport look like an airport that can take x2 A380s, X2 B747 x2 B773ER (or the new B777X), x5 A333 x10 A320 and x10 A320 in the space of 1hr?

Does it occur to most of you that West Africa and indeed Africa is growing at a pace and that in the next 20 years, We should be planning on have an airport in Lagos and Abuja that can accommodate at least 60 million passengers yearly?

Imagine a modern airport to be built in 2014 or 2015 will have no modern railway connecting the city, no airport coach terminus, no mono-rail, and a sign saying TRANSIT TERMINAL

Abeg, see this closer look of CDG arrival, the new one. I would have taken photos of Terminal A-E when I was there beginning of last week so you know that modern airports are built like a city!

Magic Bishop:

Before you can walk you must first crawl.

You must start some where and this administration is obviously moving forward.

Those airports you mentioned started humbly and gradually expanded to their current status. Apart from Dubai airport which was built from scratch to it's current dimensions (and it still being remodeled as we speak) none of the aforementioned airports were what they were 20 years ago. Technology, aircraft capacities and passenger growth over the years have left their mark on all those airports including the one you have pictured. You must also consider the current passenger handling and aircraft that are being or expected within the near future serviced at the MMA .


Yes we are playing catch up because nothing was done in the past.

So stop whining your nonsense.

This just goes along way to reinstate my claim that Lagos as a whole doe not deserve any further investment from the FG purse. Much has been given to you. Go and ask Thiefnibu to account for 14yrs of stewardship!

Omo_Tier1:
FYI, CDG Terminal 2 was built from scratch so I do not know what you are on about!

I wonder the day you lots will stop this blah blah crawling and walking Dubai made a bold statement, declaring that by 2020 1/3 of the world ODIs would be through Dubai's three main airports and they put in place plans to actualize it and today, Dubai is now a heavy hub for traffic from Europe, Asia and indeed Africa connecting millions of passenger yearly.

Nigeria and indeed Lagos is primed to be a major gateway from West Africa to the rest of the World, and you need more than a shed of an airport to make that happen. Imagine with every state in Nigeria owning an airport, coupled with 20 flights from airports in just 5 of the West African countries near by in the morning, will that airport you put up in that CGI cope?

CDG terminal 2 I posted has being undergoing construction for nearly 7 years running but they knew what future they wanted and began by creating an airport that can serve that future.

Why is it difficult for us to create bright futures in our minds in Nigeria and actually make them happen? With $3bn spent over the next 6 years, Lagos MMIA can be transformed to have a capacity of nearly 60 million and that airport would serve the country for another 25 years!
