Responding to a social media user on Saturday, a customer service representative stated, “The first flight available from Nigeria is on the 29th of August.
“Customers who have been to or connected through Nigeria in the last 14 days will not be permitted on any Emirates flights bound for Dubai. Affected flight bookings have been cancelled.”
The Emirates representative, however, also reminded the asker to continue monitoring the airline’s official website for travel updates and flight availability.
