Checkout Magazine learnt that the airlines will only ply Lagos – Abuja; Abuja – Lagos and Lagos – Port Harcourt routes.
Meanwhile, NCAA has cautioned domestic carriers not to violate the terms of the protocols handed over to them for restart.
Its Director-General Captain Musa Nuhu who issued the warning at a webinar coordinated by the authority said: “All stakeholders must meet the protocols set by the NCAA. If you do not meet, you are not granted permit to start.
