Trapped funds: Emirates suspends flights into Nigeria indefinitely

Emirates airline has disclosed plans to suspend operations into Nigeria indefinitely from 29th October, 2022.

In an issued statement yesterday, the airline said it has no option but to suspend flights to/from Nigeria from 29 October, to mitigate against further losses moving forward.

Already, any attempt to book a flight from Abuja and Lagos on the Emirates portal yields a negative result and an automatic non-availability message.

“We hope to reach a mutual resolution with the Nigerian government around the repatriation of blocked funds to enable the resumption of operations and connectivity for travellers and businesses”, the airline stated.
