Recall the Nigerian government had, through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), communicated the approval to the UAE while asking the authorities in the Middle East country to also grant the same to Air Peace.
With the coast now clear for the resumption of flights between the two countries, Emirates said it would resume its flights on Saturday.
The airline, however, said that passengers travelling to Dubai would undergo an additional COVID-19 test and remain in self-quarantine until the results of the test are received.
Emirates, in a statement by its media consultant in Nigeria, said it would resume daily flights into Lagos and Abuja Airports from its base in UAE from Saturday, February 5, 2022.
The statement hinted that the flight resumption would provide travellers more choice to Dubai and over 120 destinations.
It said it would operate to Abuja with EK 785 and 786.
“All passengers travelling from Nigeria with Dubai as their final destination require a 48 hour Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test,” the airline added.
