Africa’s largest airline, Ethiopian Airlines, has resumed passenger flights from New Jersey, United States, to Lagos and Abuja. This follows the recent reopening of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, and the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on Sept. 5. NAN reports that Ethiopian Airlines is one of the 13 that secured government’s approval to fly into the country following the resumption. The Federal Government suspended international flights on March 23 as part of efforts to check spread of the coronavirus. Ethiopian Airlines operated all nine evacuation flights from the U.S. that saw the repatriation of 2,322 stranded Nigerians.
