No less than 14 domestic airports have reopened for commercial flight operations, according to the Federal Government.

The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, who announced this in a tweet through his official Twitter handle, said the airports had resumed full domestic flight operations.

Sirika listed the 14 airports to include the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos; Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja; Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano; and Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa.

Others include the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri; Maiduguri Airport, Maiduguri; Victor Attah Airport, Uyo; Kaduna Airport, Kaduna; and Yola Airport, Yola.

Sirika list also included the Margaret Ekpo Airport, Calabar; Sultan Abubakar Airport, Sokoto; Birni Kebbi Airport; Yakubu Gowon Airport, Jos; and Benin Airport, Benin.

Commercial flight activities in Nigeria’s airports were shut down by the Federal Government for about three months as a measure to contend the spread of COVID-19.

The government started reopening the airports from July 8 when it first reopened the Lagos and Abuja airports.

The minister noted that inspection had been completed on the 14 airports and resumption of operations at the facilities had been approved.
