Nigeria has fined a UK airline $3,300 for illegally running a passenger service into the country during the Covid-19 travel ban.
The Flairjet plane was impounded by Nigeria on May 17, 2020 and the crew interrogated.
The plane had been approved strictly for humanitarian operations but it landed in the West African country with passengers against regulations governing control of Covid-19.
In late March, Nigeria stopped international flights to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease.
Meanwhile, Nigeria has expressed outrage over the refusal by Canada to grant Air Peace landing rights to evacuate Nigerians in the country.
