The Federal Government said on Monday that the country will resume international flight operations on August 29.
The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, made the announcement in Abuja at the briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.
He explained that the process for the resumption of international flights in the country would be similar to that of the domestic flight resumption.
According to the minister, the resumption will commence on Saturday next week at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He thanked Nigerians for their patience while the ban on international flights was enforced and gave an assurance that the protocols and procedures for resumption would be announced in due course.
