The proposed resumption of domestic flights and reopening of airports in Nigeria has been suspended by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
This was disclosed by Musa Nuhu, Director-General of NCAA, in an all operators letter (AOL).
The letter read: “Following the announcement by the presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19 on the resumption of domestic flights, we wish to inform the industry that the resumption of domestic flights has been postponed until such a time when a new date is determined and announced.”
“The closure of Nigerian airports to all international flights will continue until a date of resumption is determined and announced.
“Emergency and essential flights are exempted from this restriction but shall comply with existing COVID-19 protocols for approvals and flight operations.”
This letter comes following an earlier statement by Nuhu that NCAA won’t approve the resumption of flight operations until it confirms that it is able to start in a safe, secure, organised, and efficient manner.
