Major airports in the country will in the “next few days” roar into life after weeks of inactivity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
The airports are the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Ikeja; Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja; Aminu Kano Arport, Kano and the Port Harcourt Airport, Choba, Rivers State.
The decision to commence flights at the airports, according to the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority , is to avoid chocking the “system.” “Every money is important and we cannot achieve the two-meter physical distance. We are hopeful in the next few days we can resolve those issues and allow the airlines to commence operations.
He said: “The world is on break and nothing is happening. The authorities have reeled out things and these things come with a huge cost. How will airlines manage them and still be able to pay about 37 charges. NCAA has however released COVID-19 protocols as approved by the Federal Ministry of Health for the aviation industry.The crew members are now required to wear Personal Protective Equipment and observe Infection, Prevention and Control measures for the duration of their flights.
Nuhu added that in the new protocols the airliners must ensure among others, orientation and sensitization of their crew on Infection, Prevention and Control measures.
