On Thursday 18th of June 2020 Captain Musa Nuhu the Director-General of Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), stated that June 21 is no longer a feasible date for the resumption of domestic flights in the country.
The announcement was made by Captain Musa Duru, who had represented the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, during a Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 media briefing in Abuja.
He said it will be a disaster for the country and a risk to the aviation industry if domestic flights are opened on the said date.
A new date of resumption of domestic flights will be announced at the end of June after meeting with stakeholders, Musa said.
