The Federal Government has announced the resumption of domestic flights in the country.

Lagos International Airport

The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, announced this in a tweet on Wednesday.

According to him, the Abuja and Lagos airports will resume domestic operations on July 8, while the Kano, Port Harcourt, Owerri and Maiduguri airports would resume on the 11th.

Other airports are also expected to resume operations on the 15th.

Sirika, however, noted that a date for the international airports will be announced in due course.

As of June 1, the government announced that a gradual reopening of the airports may commence from June 21.

But the National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Sani Aliyu, clarified that the date was not fixed and the reopening of the sector would only be determined by their level of preparedness.

โ€œThe aviation industry is requested to start developing protocols to allow for domestic flights to resume anytime from the 21st of June onwards.

โ€œWhen we say from June 21, we mean that we are preparing the aviation sector towards that date. That date may not necessarily be June 21, it could be June 26, 28 or even July 1.
