FG Bans Local Airports From Operating International Flights

Minister of Aviation and Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, has banned international flight operations at non-international airports.

Keyamo, who directed all international flight operations at general aviation terminals, GAT, and other private terminals at the international airports, said except those exempted by the national security adviser, NSA, others must complete clearances at international terminals.

This was stated in a circular issued by the directorate of air traffic services of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, noting that no international flight operations should be conducted through non-international airports.

Deputy General Manager of NAMA, S.E. Inegbedion, who signed the circular, informed all stations of the ministerial directive, saying the instruction must be immediately followed.

Inegbedion said compliance was “compulsory” and any violation will attract “appropriate sanctions”.
