The Federal Government had in March shut the Port Harcourt, Enugu and Kano airports on March 19, while the MMIA Lagos and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, were shut on March 23 to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, announced on Thursday that only the MMIA and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, were approved to commence international flights. He added that 14 airlines had been given approval to commence international flights while eight others were not given approval, for different reasons.
