An official said the date for resumption would be announced after consultation with necessary 'stakeholders'.
Nigeria may reopen its airports for international flights in October after being forced to shut as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, government officials said Tuesday.
The Nigerian government has been under pressure to lift the ban on international flights after 30 per cent traffic was reportedly recorded a week after resumption of domestic flights. According to the International Air Transport Association , Nigeria risks losing 124,000 aviation jobs, which could amount to losing about $900 million in GDP.
The NOTAM said that approval may be requested and granted for “over-flights, operations related to humanitarian aids, medical relief flights, alternate aerodrome in the flight plan and also those being used for extended diversion time operation.”
