EBOLA: Ghana did not ban flights from Nigeria – NCAA

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has denied that Ghana has banned flights from Nigeria over Ebola virus that is ravaging some countries in West Africa.

The General Manager, Public Affairs of the organisation, Fan Ndubuoke said last night that the regulatory authority did not receive any circular from the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) or any government agency about any ban.

Also the Deputy Managing Director and Head of Flight Operations of Arik Air, Captain Ado Sanusi disclosed that Arik Air has been operating into and out of Ghana, adding that the airline’s flight operated yesterday evening to Accra, Ghanaian capital and another flight was scheduled today from Lagos to the neighbouring country.

Last week government of The Gambia announced a ban on all flights emanating from West African destinations as a step towards preventing Ebola disease from being brought into the country.
