The Federal Government has given Lufthansa, Air France and KLM the approval to operate international flights into Nigeria.
Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, disclosed this in a tweet on Tuesday.
Sirika also added that Qatar Airways has been granted approval to resume flights to Abuja.
The Minister also noted that Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Port Harcourt International Airport and Enugu International Airport might be given approval to receive international flights before the end of the year.
The minister tweeted, “We are working with Ministry of Health, CACOVID & The PTF to open Kano, Port Harcourt & possibly Enugu airports before the end of the year. Also Lufthansa, Air France/KLM have been given go-ahead to resume. Qatar Airways is approved to start Abuja. Thank you for your patience.”
The Federal Government had in September barred some airlines from entering the country following the resumption of international flight operations.
The airlines include Air France, KLM Royal Dutch, Lufthansa, Etihad Airways, RwandAir, Air Namibia, Royal Air Maroc and TAAG Angola.
Air France, KLM Royal Dutch, Lufthansa and Etihad airways were denied permission to enter Nigeria because Nigerians with tourist visas were banned from entering their parent countries.
