The United Arab Emirates has extended its ban on Nigerian flights till March 20.

The statement from the Emirate’s public relations firm said customers from both Lagos and Abuja would not be accepted for travel prior to or including the date.

The statement read, “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).”

However, the statement noted that Emirates flight from Dubai to Lagos and Abuja will continue as scheduled.

On February 5, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority barred the currier from Nigeria, alleging flouting the COVID-19 protocols and the introduction of rapid antigen test as a requirement for Dubai travelers against the negative PCR required by the Nigeria government.

This has degenerated into a situation with the UAE banning Nigeria flights for several weeks on end.
