Niger bans flights to and from Nigeria

The government of the Republic of Niger has placed a ban on all commercial and international flights coming from or going to Nigeria.

In a similar move, the Republic of Niger announced the opening of its airspace to all national and international commercial flights, effective immediately.

The new directive specifies that commercial flights passing over Nigerian airspace without landing will not be affected by these restrictions. Nevertheless, it is mandatory for all flights operating within Niger’s airspace to have their ADS-B and/or radar transponders operational throughout the duration of the flight.

In the press statement shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, the government of Niger said that,

“The airspace of the Republic of Niger is open to all national and international commercial flights from ground to unlimited, except for Nigerian flights to or from Nigeria.

“These restrictions do not affect commercial flights that fly over Nigerian airspace without landing there.

“However, it is recalled that ads-b and/or radar transporders must remain on for any flight taking place in the Niger Republic.”

It added that the country’s airspace continues to remain closed for all military, operational, and special flights. These types of flights will only be permitted with prior authorization from the competent authorities.

It said that the circular specifically concerns Niger and Nigeria and does not revoke any existing Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) in force.

The circular concluded, “This circular, which only concerns Niger and Nigeria, does not repeal no NOTAM in force.”

This instruction is a countermeasure against a similar reinforced ban placed on all commercial and international flights from Niger to Nigeria.
