As international flights operations are expected to resume, the federal government says it will enforce the principle of reciprocity in granting permission to airlines to resume operations
It means that only airlines from countries that allow flights from Nigeria will be allowed to fly into and out of the country.
Minister of aviation Hadi Sirika disclosed this during media briefing on Thursday of the presidential task force on Covid 19 in Abuja.
Sirika said the country’s position is informed by the ban placed by some countries on flights from Nigeria, and that Nigeria’s decision was taken in the interest of its citizens
Sirika who was represented by the director general of Nigeria civil aviation authority NCAA Musa Nuhu say airlines will be informed on arrangements put in place to ensure that resumption of flights will be hitch free.
He explained that for now only a few flights per day will be permitted as a test run for the protocols put in place to ensure a safe return to international flights operations.
The protocols according to him would be made public in due course.
