Hope of many travelers may have been dashed as the Federal Government postponed resumption of international flights earlier scheduled to commence August 29th.
The new date is now September 5th. This is to avoid further spread of coronavirus in the country.
The Federal Ministry of Aviation announced this on its twitter handle onThursday.
“Breaking: Regret to announce that the international flight resumption earlier scheduled to resume on 29th August has been shifted to 5th September 2020,” it tweeted.
It said that the resumption date was shifted by another one week to allow the provision of logistics and allow perfection of COVID-19 preventive strategies at the entry ports.
The postponement came barely 48 hours to commencement of international flight expected to start from Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport in Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.
