The minister of aviation and aerospace development Festus Keyamo, has stated that Emirate Airline has concluded plans to resume flight operations to Nigeria before June, 2024.
Keyamo on Monday disclosed this on Arise, according to the minister, he had received a letter from Emirates on the return of the carrier.
He however noted that the first announcement in October last year over the proposed resolution of the face-off between both nations was not fake news but was ‘hasty’.
In his statement “Emirates flight resumption is almost happening. I just received a letter from Emirates. The letter is on my phone now. They are ready to come back. They will announce the date because to restart a route, they have to get an aircraft for that route.”
Recall that Emirates in 2022 suspended flight operations to Nigeria twice over its inability to repatriate its revenue trapped in the country
