The Federal Government has confirmed that a simulation trial
of domestic flights will be carried out at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in
Lagos this Saturday.
This is in preparation to reopen the country’s airspace to
commercial flights.
The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, stated this on Monday
at the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.
Sirika assured Nigerians that ticket prices would not
skyrocket as speculated by many, due to the plan to implement the social
distancing rule onboard.
“We’ve been meeting with stakeholders in the industry to
find out how best to open the industry.
“So we are doing everything to ensure that tickets’ prices are
not skyrocketed. They may be different but they will not be something that
passengers cannot afford.
“Flight trials will be demonstrated on Saturday in Lagos
airport ahead of the resumption of operations,” he said.
