Flight operations in Lagos State and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja have resumed after over three months of being shut down following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the turnout of passengers was low as Channels Television monitored activities at the domestic wing of the Murtala International Airport, Lagos.

Passengers were seen wearing face masks, observing social distancing and adhering to other COVID-19 protocols.

It was gathered that only five airlines have been given approval to fly.
