The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has notified the general public that although all international flight operations have been suspended, passengers can still travel within Nigeria unhindered.
“We also use this opportunity to request all Passengers and other stakeholders to adhere strictly to all travel instructions and guidance in the interest of all,” the Authority also stressed.
Nigeria closed its airspace to international flights, except overflights and those on emergency. About 36 COVID-19 cases and one death have been reported in Nigeria, while government has urged airlines to adhere to safety procedures to help limit spread of COVID-19, which has infected more than 218,000 people and killed 8,800 in over 100 countries.
