EMIRATES AIRLINES HAS DEFINITE DATE TO RESUME FLIGHT OPERATIONS TO NIGERIA – KEYAMO
Minister for Aviation, Festus Keyamo (SAN); has announced that Emirates Airline already has a definite date for resuming flight operations in Nigeria.
Keyamo stated this on his X page, he wrote “Yesterday, I paid a working visit to the Ambassador of the UAE to Nigeria, His Excellency, Salem Saeed Al-Shamsi at the UAE Embassy in Abuja. He handed me a correspondence from the Emirates Airline indicating a definite date of their resumption of flights to Nigeria. That date will be formally announced by Emirates Airlines in a matter of days”.
In November 2022, Emirates suspended flights operations to Nigeria over its inability to repatriate its $85 million revenue trapped in the country.
The suspension was the second time the airline halted flights to Nigeria over its unrepatriated funds — the first time was in August, 2022.
Earlier, in October 2022, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) immigration authorities announced a ban on visa applications from Nigerians.
