By Dayo Badmus,
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has issued another letter announcing that the lifting of an earlier ban on the Emirates Airlines.
The Director General, Capt. Musa Nuhu in a letter said, “We have carefully read your response to our letter NCAA/DG/AIR11/16/285 of 4th February 2021 and arrived at the understanding that the UAE Government has granted approval to Emirates Airlines to withdraw the requirement for Rapid Antigen Testing (RDT) prior to departure of Emirates flights from Nigeria with immediate effect until such a time that the required infrastructure is made available by the Nigerian Government.
“Based on the foregoing, the Presidential Taskforce (PTF) has directed the immediate lifting of the suspension of Emirates Airlines Operations in Nigeria.
“It is therefore expected that Emirates Airlines will continue to comply with the directives of the PTF on COVID-19 and other protocols of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
“Emirates Airlines will be duly informed of ongoing enforcement actions by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) with regards to the established non-compliance to PTF directives and protocols as enumerated in our letter of 4th February 2021.”
