WHY WE ARE YET TO RESUME DUBAI FLIGHTS

We are yet to resume Dubai flights because Emirates and other airlines gave us conditions that were not acceptable to us - Hadi Sirika

Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika has explained why the country is yet to resume flights to United Arab Emirates 

Speaking during the briefing by the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, Hadi Sirika said Emirates and other airlines gave the federal government conditions that were not acceptable.

According to the Minister, Dubai authorities insisted that all passengers intending to visit the country must use Emirates airline or spend two weeks in the alternative carrier's country before entering Dubai. He stated that the protocol appeared to be targeted at only Nigerians and was not backed up by scientific reasons.

Talks are reportedly ongoing to resolve the issue. Sirika said.
