No foods on airplanes to avoid removal of masks - Aero Contractors

Ahead of flights resumption next week, Aero Contractors has ban serving of food to passengers on the airplanes to avoid removal of face masks due to COVID-19 protocols.

The Managing Director of Aero Contractors, Capt. Ado Sanusi said this on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Thursday.

He said the longest flight in Nigeria was the Lagos-Maiduguri route which is just about an hour and a few minutes.

Sanusi said most flights were less than an hour and as such it would not be necessary to serve food.

He, however, said water would be given to the passengers.

The Aero Contractors boss said, “There won’t be serving of food because that will increase the number of times you will be contacting passengers and then the passengers would be removing their face masks to eat the food so I think it is not the best.

“It is a one hour flight. It is only in Nigeria that we serve food for a one-hour flight. Go anywhere in the world and you will see that hot meals are not served on one-hour flights.”
