Emirates Airlines has announced flight operations to Nigeria
will resume on October 1, 2024.
In a statement on Thursday, Emirates Airlines said it will
resume services to Lagos, connecting to Dubai and over 140 cities worldwide.
“The service will be operated using a Boeing 777-300ER.
EK783 will depart Dubai at 0945hrs, arriving in Lagos at 1520hrs; the return
flight EK784 will leave Lagos at 1730hrs and arrives in Dubai at 0510hrs the
next day. Tickets can be booked now on emirates.com or via travel agents,” the
airline said.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ deputy president and chief commercial
officer, said the Lagos-Dubai service has traditionally been popular in
Nigeria.
“We thank the
Nigerian government for their partnership and support in re-establishing this
route and we look forward to welcoming passengers back onboard,” Kazim said.
On May 15, Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation and aerospace
development, said Emirates Airlines has given a definite date to resume flight
operations to Nigeria and will make the announcement in a matter of days.
Emirates Airlines suspended flight operations to Nigeria in
October 2022 over its inability to repatriate $85 million in revenue trapped in
Nigeria.
On November 19, 2023, Keyamo said Emirates Airlines would
soon announce the exact date of their resumption.
Keyamo said the federal government was working on some
details concerning the resumption.
