Barely one week after the Federal Government of Nigeria lifted the embargo on Emirates Airlines flights to Nigeria, the carrier's operations have once again been altered by the Nigerian Government.
The Federal Government of Nigeria through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has cancelled Emirates Airline Daily Flights to Lagos and restricts them to Abuja as it Withdraws Approval of Winter Schedule.
According to a letter dated 9 December 2021, with reference number NCAA/DG/AIR/11/16/329, singed by the Director-General, Captain Musa Nuhu and addressed to the Country Manager, Emirates Airlines, Nigeria, the NCAA stated that the withdrawal becomes effective on Sunday 12 December 2021 at 2300h.
The NCAA said: “I wish to inform you of the withdrawal of the approval granted to Emirates Airlines Winter schedule. This approval was conveyed via a letter with reference number: FMA/ATMD/501/C.104/XV/536 dated 1st December 2021. This withdrawal becomes effective on Sunday 12th December 2021 at 2300z.
“Please kindly note, henceforth, Emirates Airlines is granted approval to operate only one weekly passenger frequency to Abuja on Thursdays.”
This is coming up after the Federal Government lifted a seven month suspension on the Middle East giant.
The airlines are advised to adhere to the new directive as written in the letter headed “Withdrawal of Ministerial Approval of Emirates Airlines Winter Schedule.”
