You guys no nothing about aviation industry but you feel you just have give your opinion.

Is it the airport or airline that's in question? The airline have all the passengers manifest, this law is rubbish.
It is not. Operating international flights from local airports is like giving criminals a free pass to conduct their nefarious activities.

Why can't they upgrade the airport, we fly to save time and stress. Upgrade the facilities. Simple!!!! With all available technology we are still lagging behind.

Gbam! Them don tight everywhere for Bello, ex Kogi governor. But why is this one guy such a pain in the ass that the whole Nigerian government can't fish him out for arrest within Nigeria and instead would criple its own economy just to catch him? This guy tough...
Who tell you Nigerian government can't catch him? It's all political. If they want to arrest him this your, they know what to do. Remember, the government runs the security forces. They are just being selective of which meat is worth to fry and which is worth to boil. Personally, I like boiled meat.

Frying some meat will make them tough, while boiling them will make them soft. E.g, You can see democrats trying to fry D. J. Trump, but he gets tougher by the day.

Under the guise of anti- terrorism, the world changed forever after 9/11. In the end Osama Bin Laden wasn't even the switch that could on and off terrorism. Here am I, 2024, I can't even spit without clearance before some wide mouth accuses me of Covid. Budgets on terrorism has increased 10 folds after 9/11 yet kidnapping occurs poles away from military check points. " What kind of spell is humanity under"? Same questions I ask myself

So international flights do take off from local airports before?
Naija na real jaga jaga
Yes especially private jets and chartered flights.....VIPs can easily move anything and anyone out due to lack of checks at these airports.

SmartPolician:
When I saw this news elsewhere, I called it total rubbish! International flights don't even land on some international airports let alone landing on just local airports.

If Keyamo doesn't know what to do there, he should step aside for someone who does. These politicians should stop wasting Nigeria's time. This country is over 100 years with nothing to show for it.
Yes they do.....a zamfara gov for instance would fly straight to or from his state on an international trip and use his VIP influence to get clearance without the necessary checks...... anything or anyone could be on those flights.

That is not the issue. The question is weather it is right for a internatinal flight to take off from a domestic airport? The answer is NO. Infact, it should be a very serious offence.

Festus Keyamo and his ogas, we don't know who's more confused! Don't be surprised to see an international flight landing in Iragbiji, since they have put an exception.
And you think you made sense with this

Okk o..
Please cry do anyone has any idea if Abuja international airport has started booking international passport cause I was told that it was suspended some weeks ago and will soon start this week but i haven't heard of any positive news about it.
The reason of me asking is because my Ghana friend with me here in Nigeria wants to travel to India through Abuja international airport but they said they haven't started boarding tickets for international passport. Please I need someone who's around Abuja to help me on this 🙏

No need to ban. Its illegal already. Local for local flights and international flights for international airports. So, which ban again?
Something you failed to enforce for long, you now enforce and its called banned. Was it legal before?
Re: FG Bans Local Airports From Operating International Flights by Ologbo147: 9:17am On Jul 20, 2024
This will certainly affect Benin airport, it is high time Benin upgrade to an international airport, Benin airport is one of the Busiest in the country, the international airports in the country receive great traffic because of our huge diasporan population as a people and as a state especially the one in Lagos and Abuja,

Ibadan that does not receive 30% of the traffic of the Benin airport has been upgraded just recently to an international airport.

In fact among the four principal cities such as Benin City, Ibadan, Enugu, Kaduna that were capitals of regions such as the mid west, western region, eastern region and northern region as at 1963 in Nigeria before the creation of states, Benin city is the only one still left with a local airport and she has the busiest traffic among the four, If she was international, her figures would be four times that due to the fact she feeds other International airports greatly

If my memory serves me correctly, Airpeace protested that they were denied local customers by foreign airlines. They will enter through the international airports in Lagos or Abuja. They continue to transport their onboard passengers to a local airport from there. thereby denying the local operators some passengers.

Can international flights take off from local flight?

International flight should take off from international airport? Get real abeg.

There are different wings in an airport to carter for each kind of flight, how hard is that.

Why should someone be exempted to take off from local airport?
