Further to our earlier letter on restriction of international flights into Nigeria, we wish to inform you that the following crew rest protocols have been developed to accommodate crew operating evacuation flights of more than 6 hours: 1) All applications for evacuation flights shall made to through appropriate embassies, 2) All embassies shall undertake to provide transportation of flight crew to and from airports. In addition, shall provide controlled sleeping arrangements for the rest period, which shall be in compliance with NCDC guidelines. 3) All operators must provide prior notification to Port Health of flight crew arrivals and departure/repatriation to ensure screening at Point of Entry. 4) Port Health will be responsible for screening at POE while NCDC is responsible for screening and monitoring during the period of rest if necessary.
