Emirates airline has announced that it would resume flights to Nigeria, ending close to two years suspension of operations on the route.
This was contained in a statement by the airline’s Deputy
President and Chief Commercial Officer, Adnan Kazim, on Thursday.
“We are excited to resume our services to Nigeria. We thank
the Nigerian government for their partnership and support in re-establishing
this route, and we look forward to welcoming passengers back on board,” the
statement said.
Recall that the United Arab Emirates, UAE, stopped issuing
visas to Nigerians in 2022 after Emirates suspended flights between the nations
because of an inability to repatriate funds from the country.
The airline has been popular with Nigerian customers in the
past, and Emirates said it hopes to reconnect travellers to Dubai and onwards
to more than 140 destinations with its resumption of services.
The suspension is coming following President Bola Tinubu and
UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan held a meeting last September in Abu
Dhabi.
