The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Thursday announced a new date for the resumption of international flights from August 29 to September 5.
Musa Shuaibu Nuhu, Director-General of the NCAA, disclosed that non-aviation logistics prompted the one-week extension.
He revealed this during a Presidential Task Force COVID-19 briefing in Abuja.
“We have other non-aviation logistics we are still working on, mostly the COVID-19 protocol tests and online platform,” he said. “We need to get this ready.”
Mr Nuhu described September 5 as a “sacrosanct date”, noting that “the initial announcement was anytime from the 29th.”
“In due course, we will be announcing the protocols for the resumptions and we will be giving further details,” he said. “Hopefully early next week, we will release this.”
