The National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies, NANTA,
says arrangements are in place to ensure travelers on international
flights are well armed with destination protocols, restrictions and
requirements.
This is to ensure seamless airport facilitation from departure
and arrival ahead of international flight resumption on the 29th of
this month from Lagos and Abuja.
The Vice President, NANTA Lagos zone, Mr. Yinka Folami stated
when the Association distributed facemasks to passengers and
airline staff at the domestic terminal 2 in Lagos.
He said they were prepared to ensure international air
passengers do not encounter problems at any airports as regards the
COVID-19 protocols ahead of the reopening of the nation’s airspace
to commercial international flights on the 29th of this month.
Mr. Yinka Folami said, their members have been sensitized and
educated on what the protocols are, from the airport to boarding,
in-flight and at destination.
He said armed with these information, this would give NANTA
members the opportunity to act as consultants to the traveling
public, adding that with the pandemic, they have been challenged to
go beyond their ticketing services.
On the number of international airlines ready to commence
flight, the Chairman, Corporate Social Responsibility NANTA, Mrs.
Ima Victor-Ekpo said few airlines have informed NANTA of their
flight restart from the 1st of September while others would follow
subsequently.

“We have been in touch with all the airlines, we’ve been in
webinars with them, most of them are starting 1st if September but
others have also pushed to October because they have to be
ready.”
She said as part of their preparedness for restart, they decided
to distribute facemasks to reassure customers of air travel that it
was safe to fly.
Group corporate affairs officer of the domestic terminal 2, Mr.
Mikail Mumuni speaks on the gesture.
“And it is in line with the Federal government policy of
ensuring that those who fly through the airports they do so
safely.”
He commended passenger’s cooperation in the observance of the
covid-19 protocols at the Lagos airport.
