•Operators to notify govt five days before resumption

Okechukwu Nnodim and Maureen Ihua-Maduenyi


The Federal Government is to certify airlines and other operators in Nigeria before the resumption of flights once the country’s airspace and airports are re-opened for commercial operations.

It was also gathered on Wednesday that all operators in the country’s civil aviation space were required to inform the government five days ahead before resuming operations.

Nigerian airports had been under lockdown to commercial flights for about two months as part of measures to curb the spread of COVID-19.

There had been calls for the reopening of airports and recommencement of commercial flight operations.

But the Federal Government through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority said it would have to certify certain requirements before commercial flights would begin again.

The General Manager, Public Relations Department, NCAA, Sam Adurogboye, told our correspondent that the authority had issued various circulars to airlines on basic requirements needed from the carriers before they resume operations.

He said, “All we are doing are contained in the various circulars issued to the industry. They are all on our website.

“However, when resumption is allowed by the Federal Government, operators will be required to notify us five days ahead, to enable us certify certain requirements as enunciated in our various circulars.”

On May 6, the Federal Government extended the suspension of both local and international flight operations in all Nigerian airports by an additional four weeks.

The government had in March this year halted the operations of commercial flights by two weeks, before it announced the additional four-week extension on May 6.

Commercial flight operations, both local and international, had stopped forthwith but the Federal Government allowed essential flights.

Such essential flights include those for medical and evacuation purposes.

The government had stated that such flights were subject to the authorisation for the Federal Ministry of Aviation.

Meanwhile, in one of the circulars with reference NCAA-AC-FSG-001/20, sighted by our correspondent, the agency said the guidelines and protocols would be implemented to ensure an organised, safe, secure and efficient normalisation of the industry operations for the post COVID-19 lockdown.

Funny, but I don't think they can do anything than collect money before allowing you operate. An extortion gimmick.

If you think they are doing this to secure you, then you need to check again.

U be Mumu man!

Buhari and his zombie cabinet has no plan whatsoever. They only copy what is being done in other countries.

Noted

Good. Let them certify what they want to certify. All na scam. When they said no inter-state movement and people are just traveling into every state every seconds.

Lawlessness everywhere.

Very important if it would not be frought with corruption.

I have promised myself that nothing would make me fly local airlines until at least after one full year from time of resumption.

I pray we never record any mishap in coming months

Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh-oh-oh my soul,
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before,
Oh my soul
Worship His holy name

Bless the Lord oh my soul

Sing like never before,

Is there anything the govt can do that'll appeal to you? If they don't, you'll ask why won't they and start saying that's what other nations do to show care for their citizens. Now they want to, it's another thing.

Do u derive joy in condemning govt activities? Are u helping people in building trust in the govt? This is internet, don't u think people around the world read these nasty things you post about ur govt? Haba.

Open the airports already. You can continue to release the huge Covid 19 figures while life returns to normal. Release your numbers and allow us make our living, whatever your aims are. We won't complain.

Certify airlines?

these planes have been grounded for a while now, for safety reasons a mandatory health check needs to be carried out. Those that don’t pass should be grounded indefinitely.... we can’t risk another disaster happening in our airspace o.
