The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria’s proposed launch of an app-based Airport Car Hire Rank Management System, has raised concerns among traditional drivers. In this interview with OLASUNKANMI AKINLOTAN, FAAN’s Director of Commercial and Business Development, Ms Adebola Agunbiade, addresses the key issues surrounding the initiative
What is the purpose of the Airport Car Hire Rank Management System?
The Airport Car Hire Rank Management System is a transformative initiative by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, aimed at modernising and streamlining airport ground transportation nationwide. It was introduced to address inefficiencies in the existing airport car hire operations, such as lack of central coordination, inconsistent service quality, and security concerns for both passengers and operators. ACHRAMS is designed to provide a standardised, technology-driven platform that ensures safer, more reliable, and hassle-free car hire services for airport users, effectively bridging the gap between traditional car hire services and modern passenger expectations.
ACHRAMS is also a policy adopted in line with the Federal Government’s directive for all government agencies to go cashless. With this approach, every registered driver is expected to fund their wallets and operate without having to give cash again to the Authority. This will greatly enhance the revenue generation capacity of the Authority.
