Airports and airlines in the country are not yet fully ready to resume operations, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has said.
It was gathered on Sunday that while airlines were about 70 per cent prepared for resumption, domestic airports were 57.83 per cent ready.
The eight airlines were evaluated on the following processes: restart plan, public health corridor concept, operational safety, personnel licensing and aircraft operations, aviation security, safety management system amongst others. Also, officials of the Federal Ministry of Aviation and the NCAA stated that the airworthiness of about six airlines did not automatically mean that the carriers had been cleared to start transporting travellers within Nigeria.It was gathered that the decision to resume commercial flight operations on June 21 was rescinded because the aviation sector was not ready yet.
