Emirates Airlines to resume flight operations in Nigeria
By Dayo Badmus,
Emirates Airline will soon resume its flight operations in and out of Nigeria.
The Director-General of Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Musa Nuhu has said.
Nuhu, while speaking at the National briefing of the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) on COVID-19 in Abuja, said there were ongoing discussions with the airline and the outcome would be disclosed within the next 48 hours.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Nigerian government had in March 2021 banned the airline from operating in the country over its continuous refusal to fly passengers without a pre-boarding rapid diagnostic test (RDTs).
“As regards the issue of Emirates Airline’s resumption of flight to Nigeria, the PSC deliberated extensively on this matter and the gap has been significantly closed between the position of Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates (UAE),” he said.
