Emirates ban: FG announces possible resumption of flights to UAE
The federal government has announced the possible resumption of flights between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Direct flights between both countries were suspended in March over issues relating to COVID-19 protocol.
Speaking at a media briefing on Monday, Mukhtar Muhammad, national incident manager of the presidential steering committee on COVID-19, said that both countries have agreed on the reviewed travel guidelines and conditions imposed by the UAE government.
He explained that the federal government has succumbed to the COVID-19 testing requirement earlier imposed by the UAE government in March 2021 to maintain harmony.
On the resumption of Emirates Airline’s flights to Nigeria, he said there had been extensive deliberation on the matter — gap had been significantly closed between the position of Nigeria and the UAE.
Emirates Airline is the flag carrier of the UAE.
“They have met some of our requirements, and we are just waiting for one confirmation,” NAN quoted Muhammad as saying.
