FAAN Launches ACHRAMS for Safer Airport Transport
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has introduced the Airport Car Hire Rank Management System (ACHRAMS) to improve ground transportation at major airports, including Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. FAAN clarified in a statement on August 20, 2026, that ACHRAMS is not an e-hailing application intended to compete with services like Uber and Bolt.
Instead, it is designed to enhance visibility, accountability, orderliness, and passenger protection within airport environments. This initiative addresses the unique security and operational challenges faced at airports, which differ significantly from other transport hubs.
The system aims to eliminate vulnerabilities associated with uncoordinated vehicular movement, ensuring that all vehicles and drivers are vetted and monitored. FAAN's management emphasized that the reform is part of a broader effort to balance convenience in transportation with the critical need for national airport security.
