Hours after announcing resumption of flights to Nigeria, Emirates, the UAE flag carrier, has again announced indefinite suspension of flights to Nigeria.
The UAE authorities had initially fixed Wednesday, June 23, 2021, for resumption of flights to Nigeria.
But in a statement on its website on Monday, the airline said, “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.”
“We regret the inconvenience caused, and affected customers should contact their booking agent or Emirates call centre for re-booking. Emirates remains committed to Nigeria, and we look forward to resuming passenger services when conditions allow.”
