The United Arab Emirates has reinstated its ban on Nigerian flights 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 remain committed to
Nigeria, and we look forward to resuming passenger services when conditions
allow.”
