Air Peace says it is suspending flights to Dubai due to the
non-issuance of visas by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government to Nigerians.
In October, the UAE immigration authorities banned visa
applications to 20 African countries including Nigeria.
In a statement on Monday, Air Peace said it would suspend
operations in Dubai from November 22, 2022, until further notice.
“We hereby inform the public, especially our Dubai
passengers, that effective from Tuesday, November 22, 2022, we shall be
suspending our Dubai operations till further notice,” the statement reads.
“This is consequent
upon the persisting non-issuance of visas to Nigerian travellers by the
government of the United Arab Emirates and the accompanying inconveniences.
“Air Peace has been operating into the UAE even with the
country’s recent travel restrictions, but given the heightening hurdles Nigerian
travellers are facing in accessing the country, it has become imperative that
we halt our operations to that destination.
“We shall provide further updates as the situation
progresses.
“Passengers whose
flights are affected by this development can mail our call centre
team-callcenter@flyairpeace.com- to attend to their concerns.”
Meanwhile, the airline said it has resumed flight operations
to Johannesburg in October.
The development came seven weeks after the airline suspended
flight operations on the route due to the delayed issuance of South African
visas to travellers as well as a hike in aviation fuel prices.
