The Federal Government of Nigeria has extended the closure of the Nigerian airports for international flights till October 2020.
The
Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has issued a NOTAM (Notice to
Airmen) to that effect informing stakeholders that the airspace would no
longer reopen for international flights on August 19.
The
Federal Government of Nigeria had suspended international flights in
March following the COVID-19 pandemic but it recently reopened the
airports for domestic flights.
However, there has been pressure,
especially from tour operators and travel management companies on the
government to lift the ban on international flights.
But the
hope of those agitating for the reopening of airports for international
flights has been further dashed following the extension of the ban from
August till October.
The NOTAM read:
“The Federal
Government has extended the closure of our airports to all international
flights with the exception of aircraft in a statement of emergency.”
However,
the NOTAM indicated 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.”
Also approved for
exemptions are “technical landings where passengers do not disembark and
cargo flights and other safety-related operations.”
Such
requests would be directed to the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi
Sirika, the NOTAM issued by the NCAA DG, Capt. Musa Nuhu said.
