Nigerian government has directed airlines to resume
in-flight refreshment on domestic flight with immediate effect.
The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, gave the directive
during the briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja on
Monday.
In-flight refreshments were suspended owing to the emergence
of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision was taken in consideration of the businesses
involved in the provision of in-flight refreshments that had been paused as a
result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The minister disclosed that modalities and protocols for the
resumption of the services would be worked out by the Nigerian Civil Aviation
Authority and in line with international practices.
Sirika said: “Members of the Presidential Task Force on
Coronavirus would be visiting Kano and Port harcourt airports for simulation
exercises to ascertain their readiness for international operations.”
The Minister added that a technical working group comprising
of agencies involved in the facilitation of passengers had been set up ahead of
the planned resumption of international operations at the facilities.
“This is to ensure that all standards required for seamless
operations at the airports were put in place for the resumption of
international flights,” he added.
