Hadi Sirika, the minister of
aviation, says passengers no longer have to arrive at the airport three hours
before the take-off time of domestic flights.
In a tweet on Monday, Sirika said
passengers can now arrive one and a half hour before departure time for
domestic flights.
“My colleagues and I have
reviewed passenger facilitation at our airports, consequently I am happy to
announce that, henceforth travellers are to arrive one hour and a half before
their departure time for domestic flights,” the tweet read.
The minister also advised
passengers to check-in online so as to as time spent checking in at the
airport.
Before the resumption of domestic
flights, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) had advised
passengers to get to the airport at least three hours before departure due to
safety checks.
This was among other guidelines
announced by FAAN as part of the COVID-19 flight resumption protocols for
passengers.
Airport operations were suspended
in March to contain the spread of COVID-19 across the country.
Sirika, on July 1, announced that
the Abuja and Lagos airports will resume on July 8, while Kano, Port Harcourt,
Owerri and Maiduguri airports will reopen on July 11.
Other airports are expected to
reopen on Wednesday 15 July while the resumption date for international flights
will be announced later.
