FAAN Engages Car Hire Operators Ahead Of Airport Rank Management System Launch

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has commenced engagement with airport car hire operators ahead of the implementation of its new FAAN Airport Car Hire Rank Management System (ACHRAMS), scheduled to commence on July 1, 2026.

The engagement is part of efforts by the authority to ensure a smooth transition and prepare stakeholders for the rollout of the technology-driven system aimed at improving car hire operations across FAAN-managed airports.

Speaking during a meeting with operators, FAAN Director of Commercial and Business Development, Mrs Joy Agunbiade, said arrangements had been concluded for the deployment of ACHRAMS, while training and sensitisation programmes for stakeholders would be completed before the end of June.

Agunbiade explained that the new system was designed to enhance operational efficiency, improve revenue generation, reduce unnecessary congestion and loitering around airport arrival areas, as well as provide passengers with faster and more convenient access to approved car hire services.

She urged all registered car hire operators to complete their registration and application processes ahead of the July 1 commencement date, stressing the importance of their cooperation for the successful implementation of the initiative.

The FAAN official reaffirmed the authority’s commitment to adopting technology-based solutions that would strengthen airport operations, improve service delivery, and enhance the overall passenger experience at airports across Nigeria.

She added that the new management system would create a more organised and efficient framework for airport car hire services while supporting better coordination between operators and airport authorities.
