The United Arab
Emirates has reinstated its ban on Nigerian fligts barely 48 hours after
announcing resumption of flights to Nigeria.
Though UAE authorities had initially fixed
Wednesday, June 23, 2021, for resumption of flights to Nigeria, Emirates which
is UAE flag carrier has again announced indefinite suspension of flights to
Nigeria.
A statement shared on the airline's website
read;
“In line with government directives, passenger
flights to and from Nigeria (Lagos and Abuja) are suspended with effect from 21
June 2021 until further notice.
“Customers travelling to and from Lagos and
Abuja will not be accepted for travel. Customers who have been to or connected
through Nigeria in the last 14 days are not permitted to board from any other
point to the UAE.
“We regret the
inconvenience caused, and affected customers should contact their booking agent
or Emirates call centre for rebooking. Emirates remains committed to Nigeria,
and we look forward to resuming passenger services when conditions allow.”
