The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority on Thursday explained why the Federal Government postponed the earlier announced date for international flights resumption.
But speaking at a briefing of the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 in Abuja on Thursday, NCAA Director-General, Capt Musa Nuhu, said there were non-aeronautical logistics that needed to be put in place before the country’s airspace is opened to international flights.“Since the announcement by the honourable minister of aviation a few weeks ago that international flights will resume anytime from 29th of August, the aviation sector has worked assiduously to be ready for this date.
“So, for this reason, unfortunately, I have to let you know that the resumption date has been shifted by one week to the 5th of September which is now a sacrosanct date. The initial announcement was anytime from August 29. Now we have fixed a date – 5th of September to ensure that resumption of international flights.
