Dubai’s flagship carrier Emirates has announced a suspension of flights to and from Nigeria from June 21, 2021.
In a statement posted on the Airline’s website, the UAE announced that in line with government’s directives, passenger flights to and from Nigeria (Lagos and Abuja) are suspended with effect from 21 June 2021 until further notice.

Passengers travelling to and from Lagos and Abuja will not be accepted for travel. Those who have been to or connected through Nigeria in the last 14 days are not permitted to board from any other point to the UAE.
The new announcement is a twist to the decision of the Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management in Dubai, who on Saturday, eased travel rules for inbound passengers arriving from India, South Africa and Nigeria.
