Air France Lands In Nigeria To Convey Citizens Back Home

Three special flights from Air France landed in Nigeria yesterday to convey 260 French citizens to Paris.

Air France was granted approval to land in the country after the government had last Saturday announced the closure of the country’s airports with effect from March 23rd following the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country.

The French nationals left the country through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, after the Federal Government granted the request by the Air France General Manager in Nigeria, Michel Colleau for the aircraft to land in the West African nation.

Colleau had sought the government’s permission for the airline to land in Lagos to evacuate Dutch and French citizens who were stranded in Nigeria following the closure of the airports.
