Nigerian Government begins the process of restarting international flights
The Federal Government has begun the process of restarting international flights.
In
a briefing on Thursday by the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19, the
PTF National Coordinator, Sani Aliyu, said approvals have been given for
aviation authorities to commence the process for the resumption of
international flights.
Mr. Aliyu said the
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and other aviation agencies, as
well as airlines, are to come up with a safe process through which
international airlines can commence operations.
The
PTF Coordinator said when international flight operations resume,
passengers would arrive three hours before flights, to ensure that there
is no crowding of the airports.
For international travel, we have made recommendations to the aviation industry to commence the process for reopening international airports provided all existing international and local COVID-19 protocols are in place.
We have modified the protocol for passenger arrivals at the airports. Domestic passengers arriving at the airports are advised to arrive one hour before their flights and three hours before international flights when this restarts, Mr Aliyu stated.
Mr
Aliyu’s statement comes shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari
approved the extension of the second phase of the eased lockdown for
another four weeks.
