There are strong indications that the June 21, 2020 date slated for resumption of domestic flights may not be feasible as none of the local carriers has met the conditions given to them by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
Also the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) it was gathered, was yet to meet the requirements as stipulated by NCAA to get the airports ready for flight operations.
THISDAY learnt that almost all the airlines that are interested in resuming flight operations have submitted their documentation to the regulatory authority and some of them have met some of the condition, but NCAA was yet to get back to the airlines.
The Director of Flight Operations, Air Peace, Captain Victor Egonu, told THISDAY that airlines might not be the cause of the delays because FAAN wasn't ready with the airports.
On the resumption of flight operations, the CEO of Aero Contractors, Captain Ado Sanusi told THISDAY that the June 21 date might not be feasible because there is still interstate lockdown and for flight operations to take place, there should be interstate movement as flights move from one state to another.
