International flights coming into Nigeria have been directed to carry a maximum of 200 passengers by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

The Drector-general/CEO of NCAA Musa Nuhu in a memo released on Friday September 4, also disclosed that there is no limit on the number of outgoing passengers.

Each operator has only one frequency on an approved day of operation irrespective of the capacity of aircraft utilised. It is expected that the limit on the number of passengers on incoming flights will be increased in the coming weeks and additional flight frequencies will be allocated to airlines.
