UAE extends ban on flights from Nigeria

The United Arab Emirate has extended its ban on flights from Nigeria till March 20, 2021.  However, this is seen as part of the measure from the UAE to curb the spread of the Covid-19 infection in the country.

According to a statement from the firm representing UAE said customers from both Abuja and Lagos would not be accepted.

“In line with government directives, passenger services from Nigeria (Lagos and Abuja) to Dubai are temporarily suspended until 20 March 2021.

“Customers from both Abuja and Lagos will not be accepted for travel prior to or including this date. Passengers who have been to or connected through Nigeria in the last 14 days are not allowed entry into the UAE (whether terminating in or connecting through Dubai).”
