FG To Reopen Kano, Port Harcourt International Flights

OnyxNews Nigeria reports that the Federal Government is set to reopen Kano, Port Harcourt international flights.

The two airports will be reopened when the twin issues of ICT infrastructure and adequate number of staff to be in charge of the airports have been provided.

Musa Nuhu, Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said the reopening of the two airports became necessary to decongest the Lagos and Abuja airports and subsequently make travels more convenient for passengers.

He said NCAA was waiting for the Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) to provide the needed ICT infrastructure while the Port Health Services were already working to provide an adequate number of staff.

Nuhu did not, however, reveals the exact date of the reopening, although he said it would be soon.

This online news platform recalls that the Federal Government had announced the resumption of international flights from the Abuja and Lagos airports on 5th of September 2020.
