The Federal Government through the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirka, has approved the resumption of domestic flight operations in 14 airports after months of closure due to lockdown caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.
The Minister who had earlier announced that international flight operations might be resuming before October 2020 made this announcement in the early hours of Sunday via his Twitter handle.
