The Airport is keen on the conservation of the environment. This is by following a set of rules and regulations that will enhance co-existence of the airport and the environment. This feature is unique to the airport as many others care more about business than the environment. The rules include conservation of plants and flowers and a reduction in noise pollution. I believe that this is something that other airports should emulate, don’t you?
9.Passenger Services Offered
There is a vast number of services available to the passengers at the airport. Four ATMs are at your service for you to withdraw cash and be able to shop at the Duty-Free Shop and also to purchase a lounge pass if you are not a member. Public telephones are also available for you to call home or the one who is to pick you up from the airport if the person is nowhere to be seen.
