The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has disclosed that international flights in and out of the country may commence before October.
Sirika revealed the disclosure in a tweet while dismissing reports the date of resumption has been set.
International flights were suspended in Nigeria on March 23 in an effort to curb the spread of the COVID-19.
Sirika’s tweet reads: ”International Flight resumption date is not October. NAMA just issued a routine 90 day Notices to Airmen (NOTAM).
“In liaison with Health, Foreign Affairs & PTF COVID-19, we will announce the agreed date, regardless of the ban by Europe, UAE etc. May be earlier than October.”
