Kano and Port Harcourt will soon be reopened to international traffic
Nigeria plans to reopen Kano and Port Harcourt airports to international flights. The two airports will soon be equipped with anti-Covid-19 devices and the appropriate workforce. At the moment, only the airports of Lagos and Abuja are open to international traffic.
Kano and Port Harcourt airports, closed for international flights since mid-March, with a view to the fight against the spread of Covid-19, could soon reopen. The director general of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) made the announcement this Thursday, November 12, during the daily briefing of the Presidential Taskforce on Covid-19. According to Musa Nuhu, the two platforms will be open when they have the technical and human resources necessary to implement the anti-coronavirus protocol.
For the head of the Nigerian civil aviation, the reopening of the two infrastructures is necessary to relieve congestion at the international airports Murtala Muhammed in Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe in Abuja. These two platforms are the only ones in Nigeria open to international traffic since September 5.
The country has resumed domestic connections since July 8, after more than three months of suspension due to a health crisis. The resumption of domestic transport has always been gradual, with first the airports of Lagos and Abuja, then those of Kano, Port Harcourt Owerri, Maiduguri and others.
