FG May Declare Aviation Agencies’ Staff Redundant
The federal government may be forced to declare some personnel in the aviation agencies redundant if the lockdown in air transport continues beyond May.
But Illitrus said this would not be the fate of aviation agencies personnel unless the lockdown persists for a longer time. He, however, expressed hope that flight operations would resume in May, with new safety protocol against coronavirus, which may include the airlines providing face masks and sanitizers to passengers, strict temperature checks and disclosed that there is contemplation that airlines may stop serving food onboard for domestic flight operation, as most flights in Nigeria is about one hour.
“It was aviation that spread coronavirus in the world. If the world had suspended air travel earlier that it did, the virus would not have spread everywhere as it has done. The Director of Consumer Protection, NCAA, Adamu Abdullahi confirmed the introduction of use of mask and said airlines should be encouraged to maintain social distancing by asking passengers to check in online, saying NCAA would emphasise airworthiness, fumigation, sanitisation of aircraft as well as airports.
