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.
