Emirates Resumes Flights Operation In Nigeria

There are strong indications that Middle East carrier, Emirates Airlines, will resume flights in Nigeria.

According to a notice sent to travel agents in Nigeria, the Dubai-based carrier said it would resume four-weekly flights to Nigeria.

The notice, which was obtained from Peacock Travels and Royal AlmondTravels, read in part, “Operations to Nigeria will be reinstated with 4-weekly Lagos (LOS) flights EFF.11Sep22.

“EK783/784 DXB-LOS-DXB on days 1,3,5,7 will operate as per schedule below:

“EK783 11SEP22-30SEP22 1_3_5_7 DXB DEP 1020 LOS ARR 1500 77WR

“EK784 11SEP22-30SEP22 1_3_5_7 LOS DEP 1815 DXB ARR 0500+1 77WR
“NOTE: Lagos flights beyond 30SEP22 will be advised in due course.”

Emirates had announced the suspension of flights to Nigeria effective September 1, 2022 just a few days ago where it linked the development to the inability to repatriate $85m ticket sales proceeds from the country.
