They didn't mention international travels, however, they could have privy information and guidelines from the international regulators and all countries could preparing to reopen soon.

harryboyng:
I don’t think this is true. Reason because international flights have not started in other countries. How then can we decide we want to fly abroad. Or is this news just for local flights??

The planes are being 'warmed' and maintained regularly. They have not been left to stand there untouched all along.

CokeBar:
As much as I am happy about the resumption of flight operations. I wouldn't advise anyone to travel just yet.

Let them warm up the planes first before we will hear that engine haff knock.

There's a high probability that the planes might be rusty.

they can start with local flights

GiantMelCosta:
Nigerian international airport be like local airport in the US

That's y we are referred to as a developing country and not a developed country. Capish!

They are all also preparing to reopen starting from next week from US, UK and many other EU countries, Asia.....but traveling by air is not going to be as sweet as before.

Imagine suspecting your next neighbor and eyeing them one kind for a 5, 8 or 12 hrs trips whiling suffocating under a unless face mask the entire time.

Awon amateur jati jati.what they ought to have been doing since January. especially for people coming in. Incompetent set of people

Please they should open Embassy quick quick
Make man plan how to japa

Long over due.. tertiary and secondary schools should also open

No to that. No vaccines or medicinal cure. No school. No option on that

Rubbish..

Who ask you

I guess you haven't seen the new international terminal...

Unfortunately come back in 5 years and look at this terminal. It would already have started to fall apart.

We lack maintenance culture and processes here. Best thing is to privatise it. MM2 Is still looking good after all these years, with some upgrades even.

I'm supposed to be awarded the most banned nairalander of 2020.....and mods prepare for more bans:\

You can hang the awards on the wall in your parlour to give u joy..actually, no one cares....no one even knows this moniker exists

athaboi:

Schools are a different matter. I don't think they'll open soon. Too many risks.

We are waiting for the final one which is schools

This really makes me doubt that the virus was ever in Nigeria. In other countries if the number of cases keeps on increasing as it is in Nigeria, they increase their restrictions but in Nigeria we are reducing restrictions.

after this comment, were you given 'the most foolish man' award?
your comment never add up to the realty of the consequences of the issue at hand.
states are still locked down, some are still locking down FG is planning opening the airports it isn't really adding up.
probably opening the airports but the airspace still closed!?

You actually have a very serious point and one which has bothered me for a few weeks now after reading reports of the cost to American Airlines (generic, not AA) of keeping their massive fleets airworthy particularly those parked in airports just a slingshot from the coast and corrosive, salty air.

Civil aviation authorities here should ensure the best practices in extended downtime checks and recertification. Each aircraft should be inspected and flight tested before re-entering service.

I will certainly wait a week's worth of flights before boarding any aircraft or going bear any airport. The roads have been my links across the country these past months and that is not about to change.

Nobody is talking about opening interstate boarders for bus transportation

I think it should be for domestic flights for now

Absolutely!

I also intend to wait 1-2 weeks before boarding.

I however cannot travel by road, especially Abuja - Lagos, I can't even consider it.

Btw, you type so well

When last did you go to the airport or maybe you haven’t be there before....
Or you think Airports is just about fine buildings.

ReachRich:

As soon as flight operations resume, the interstate travel ban is automatically lifted.

However, it is easier to manage personal data for air passengers than road especially for contact tracing.

this won't last long, I know Nigerians.

When schools open please keep your kids at home and allow people move on with there lifes.

Nice but the good thing is our government is gradually coming back to their senses after the whole covid 19 scam and with over 8000 Cases in the country am not surprised that now is the time to ease lockdown .
