The Skype meeting was aimed at assessing the readiness of FAAN to radually begin operations, following the Federal Government’s directive for reopening of the four regional airports. FAAN is responding to the guidelines set by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for gradual airport reopening and POST COVID 19 operations.
