The Federal Government has announced the postponement of the resumption of international passenger flights to September 5.
Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation Hadi Sirika had previously said international flights would resume in Abuja and Lagos on August 29.
The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 said the delay was due to logistical issues, including enforcing coronavirus safety restrictions.
The ministry of aviation said it regretted the delay and described the new date as “sacrosanct”.
Nigeria suspended international passenger flights in March as part of measures to contain the coronavirus pandemic, the BBC reported.
Domestic flights resumed last month
