However, the AWA will operate only in Abuja airport while the AWA X 2 will operate only in Lagos airport.

According to the circular, which was signed by Musa Nuhu, NCAA director-general, RwandAir has received approval to commence commercial flight operations in the country.

RwandAir will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays both in the Lagos and Abuja airports and on Saturdays only in the Lagos airport.

Meanwhile, Air Senegal and Emirates, which were previously included in the September 4 list of international airlines cleared for operations by the NCAA, have now been excluded from the updated list

According to the regulatory body, the updated schedule for international flight operations took effect on Friday.

NCAA reiterated that the maximum number of passengers for each incoming international flight is 200.

Hadi Sirika, the minister of aviation, announced on Tuesday that Emirates Airline has been given the approval to resume flight operations after the United Arab Emirates government agreed to resume visa issuance to Nigerians.
