Federal Government Extends Airport Closure to October 15
The Federal Government has extended international flight restriction to October 15.
This information was made available via a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). In the statement, NCAA stated that it is extending the restriction of international flights to October 15 instead of August 19 as previously reported.
A source within NCAA confirmed that the international airports would remain closed until October saying the Federal Government did not give a specific date for reopening but that the government had previously said the airports would be closed until August.
The source further said that if there would be a further extension beyond October, the message would be passed across but that for now, only essential and humanitarian flights will continue.
