Emirates airline is set to resume back the Dubai - Nigeria (Lagos and Abuja) flight operations as the federal government reinstated the services of the carrier which it had earlier altered.
Recall that the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had earlier in December withdrawn the ministerial approval on the winter flight schedule given to Emirates Airlines after the UAE authorities reduced the operations of the Nigerian leading carrier, Air Peace to just one slot per week.
Nigerian Government has now announced the reinstatement of the ministerial approval of Emirates Airlines Winter Schedule after further consultation with various stakeholders and a letter from Dubai CAA dated December 17, 2021, offering Air Peace Airlines daily slots at Dubai Airports.
This decision was disclosed in a letter issued by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to Emirates Airline and signed by its Director-General, Captain Musa Nuhu, on Tuesday, December 21, 2021.
NCAA wrote in the letter that the approval is predicated on compliance with the Dubai Travel protocol as released by Dubai Airports on Friday, November 26, 2021, as it affects passengers travelling from Nigeria to the UAE.
According to the letter: "Following further consultations with various stakeholders and the letter from Dubai CAA with reference number DCAA/ASA/N-3/016 dated 17th December 2021 offering Air Peace Airlines daily slots at Dubai Airports (DXB), I wish to inform you of the reinstatement of the Ministerial approval of Emirates Airlines Winter Schedule".
‘’This approval is predicated on compliance with the Dubai Travel Protocol as released by Dubai Airports on Friday 26th November as it affects passengers travelling from Nigeria to the UAE," it reads.
