The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has issued a directive requiring foreign airlines to patronize local caterers for their in-flight meals.

This new regulation is set to take effect on January 1, 2025.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, announced this in a letter signed by Mr. Hassan Ejibunu, the Director overseeing the Office of the Permanent Secretary, and addressed to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on October 15.

The letter outlined the mandate for all outbound flights from Nigeria, particularly those operated by foreign airlines, to use local catering services for on-board meals.
