The federal government has reopened the Mallam Aminu Kano international airport for commercial flights.
The airport was shutdown in March 2020 as part of efforts to curtail the spread of COVID-19.
It was shutdown alongside Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu; and the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa.
In a tweet, today, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) announced commencement of operation in the airport.
It said flight operation resumed with the arrival of Ethiopian Airline.
“Resumption of International flight at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, with the arrival of Ethiopian Airline, today 6th April 2021,” the tweet reads.
