Emirates Airline has announced an extension of the flight ban on Nigeria.
The United Arab Emirates carrier made the announcement in a notice on its website.
Emirates left Nigeria in March over diplomatic issues on account of additional rapid antigen test imposed on Nigerian travellers as part of measures to check fake COVID-19 test results entering Dubai.
The notice read: “Emirates’ flights to and from Nigeria will remain suspended until 10 October 2021.
“Customers who have been to or connected through Nigeria in the last 14 days will not be permitted on any flights bound for Dubai.
“Affected flight bookings have been cancelled.
