The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Thursday said the resumption of international flights has now been moved from August 29 to September 5.
Director-General of the NCAA, Musa Shuaibu Nuhu, disclosed the new date during a Presidential Task Force COVID-19 briefing in Abuja.
“We have other non-aviation logistics we are still working on, mostly the COVID-19 protocol tests and online platform,” he said. “We need to get this ready.”
“In due course, we will be announcing the protocols for the resumptions and we will be giving further details,” he said. “Hopefully early next week, we will release this.”
Nigeria started to restrict international flights in March as part of efforts to restrict the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Also, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has disclosed a plan to increase Passenger Service Charge (PSC) by 100 percent.
