Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says Airlines can now board any traveller to Nigeria who is unable to either pay for the repeat day-7 COVID-19 PCR test or generate the paid QR code/Permit to fly.
Gatekeepers News reports that NCAA says such passengers will be required to make payment for the repeat day-7 COVID-19 PCR test at their destination airport in Nigeria.
This comes after Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 became aware of the challenges some travellers to Nigeria are experiencing while trying to fill their Health and travel history into the Nigeria International Travel Portal (NITP).
The NCAA disclosed in a statement signed by its Director General, Musa Nuhu, and addressed to all Airlines Operating International Flights Into and Out of Nigeria.
Nuhu stated that holders of diplomatic passports and Children aged Ten (10) years and below who are unable to complete the NITP are to be allowed to board the flight.
He added that the children’s health declaration and travel history will be captured by the Port Health Services (PHS) at the destination airport.
The NCAA DG further said, “Airlines are to bring the information to the knowledge of their passengers and ensure strict compliance with the above conditions.”
