Dubai\u2019s Emirates airline said passenger flights to and from Nigeria (Lagos and Abuja) are suspended with effect from June 21 until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline <\/a>had on Saturday announced that it would be resuming flight operations in Nigeria from June 23rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the airline backtracked, saying customers travelling to and from Lagos and Abuja will not be accepted for travel, and those who have been to \u2013 or connected through \u2013 Nigeria in the last 14 days are not permitted to board from any other point to the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe regret the inconvenience caused, and affected customers should contact their booking agent or Emirates call centre for rebooking,\u201d said the airline.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmirates remains committed to Nigeria, and we look forward to resuming passenger services when conditions allow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates\u2019 also said that flights from South Africa will remain suspended until July 6, in line with government directives that restrict the entry of travellers originating from South Africa, into the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily passenger flights to Johannesburg will operate as EK763, but outbound passenger services on EK 764 remain suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers who have been to or connected through South Africa in the last 14 days will not be permitted on any Emirates flights bound for Dubai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
