The Federal Government has extended the closure of airports in the country by two weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika via his Twitter handle. However, the government had said emergency and essential flights could be operated from any of the airports within the period. While disclosing the extension of the current closure, Sirika said the airports would no longer open for commercial operations on April 23 due to the extended lockdown in the three cities.
He said, “As a result of the extension on lockdown by Mr President, it is no longer possible for us to open our airspace and airports for normal operations by the 23rd April 2020. “They will remain closed for a further two weeks.
This subject to review as appropriate.”
