Emirates Airlines has resumed its Dubai-Lagos daily flights after a two-year hiatus.
The flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) resumed flight operations to Nigeria on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
Recall Emirates Airlines suspended its Dubai-Lagos flights in November 2022 over its inability to repatriate trapped funds in Nigeria in the heat of the diplomatic fireworks between the two countries.
However, the airline’s flight landed at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos on Tuesday afternoon as Nigerians celebrate 64 years of independence from British colonial rule.
According to air traffic controllers, the over eight-hour flight touched down at the airport at 3:32 pm.
