The Federal Government, on Thursday, announced that the resumption of international flights has been postponed again.
The new date is now September 5, 2020.
The resumption was earlier fixed for August 29.
“Regret to announce that the international flight resumption earlier scheduled to resume on 29th August has been shifted to 5th September 2020”, the Federal Ministry of Aviation tweeted.
Recall that Nigeria had suspended all air travel on March 23 to comply with restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
Sirika, however, last week promised that international flights would begin with the megacity of Lagos and the capital, Abuja.
“Protocols and procedures will be announced in due course,” he wrote on Twitter.
At a briefing in Abuja, he said four flights would begin landing daily in Lagos and four in Abuja.
Nigeria resumed domestic flights on July 8, and Sirika said there had been no confirmed coronavirus transmissions on flights.
