  "account": "The General Aviation Terminal (GAT) in Lagos, home to arrival section MMA1, has reopened for passengers after a lengthy closure due to air traffic control strikes. The gate to the arrival area opened precisely at 2:25 pm on Tuesday, permitting travelers to enter the terminal.\n\nArrivals who had been on site since as early as 5am, as well as those arriving later, have congregated inside the terminal awaiting boarding to commence. An Air Peace employee, who spoke anonymously to Nairametrics, confirmed that aircraft were prepared for operation once passengers had accessed the terminal and finished the required boarding procedures.\n\nThe airline's announcement over the terminal's public address system in the afternoon stated that afternoon flights would resume, while some morning flights had been cancelled. Air Peace's morning flights from GAT to both Abuja and Kano would proceed, while other morning flights scheduled to depart from the airport were cancelled.\n\nAs of the time of this report, boarding had not yet begun, but passengers had already entered the terminal and formed queues in anticipation of the resumed operations.",
