Emirates on Monday, June 21 has suspended passenger flights to and from Nigeria till further notice and the suspension takes effect immediately.

A statement by the airline reads “customers traveling to and from Lagos, Abuja will not be accepted for travel. Customers who have been to or connected through Lagos, Abuja in the last 14 days are not permitted to board from any point to the UAE.”
“We regret the inconvenience caused, and affected customers should contact their booking agent or Emirates call center for rebooking,” the airline added.
