The automated Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Two (MMA2), Lagos, has been completed and inaugurated.
The project was inaugurated at a brief ceremony at the weekend after the contractor handling it formally handed it over to Mr. Christophe Penninck, chief executive officer, Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL), operator of MMA2, who expressed joy that the project was finally completed.
A statement by Chief Steve Omolale, BASL’s spokesman, quoted Penninck, while cutting the tape to inaugurate the project, as praising the Group Managing Director/CEO of Interswitch Limited, Mr. Mitchell Elegbe, and his team for “a job well done”.
Omolale said that BASL embarked on the project to lessen the burden of passengers and other airport users at the 800-capacity Multi-Storey Car Park.
He added: “The car park has been fully automated in a bid to make the use of the facility easier. Each of the three floors of the four-floor car park has a fully automated entry and exit barriers and column gates.
“The new system comes with automated time-stamped ticket and various electronic applications, such as windscreen chip, access card and drive touch button.
“The car park manager has a control system managing all points and in-phone facility for communications from his office to the cash points and entry point.
“This has eliminated the manual ticketing of the car park users.”
The statement said that a ticket holder had been installed in the column gate at the exit point to withhold successful tickets after being processed and reject failed tickets for further processing at the cash points.
