Aliyu at the briefing also interrogated the aviation sector to start their development protocols that will make a path to the resumption of domestic flights any time from June 21.

“The aviation industry is requested to start developing protocols to allow for domestic flights to resume anytime from the 21st of June onwards.

“When we say from June 21, we mean that we are preparing the aviation sector towards that date. That date may not necessarily be June 21, it could be June 26, 28 or even July 1.

“It depends on whether or not they are prepared. So we are giving them a time frame of three weeks to start preparing for domestic flights.

“We are giving an opportunity for the aviation sector that is heavily regulated to make sure that they start getting their acts together so that airports open up in a safe way,” Aliyu said.

Aliyu also make known that once domestic flights resume then means will be put in place regarding interstate travel because you cannot have a stop on interstate travel and you have people flying from one state to the other

Adding that passengers would be asked to wear masks or face shields and maintain physical distancing as much as possible while airports would also have to mark areas to reflect social distancing.
