Emirates Airlines
Dubai based Airline on Sunday officially shut down its operations in Abuja, the nation’s capital though temporarily.
The airline had announced that it would suspend its four flights per week from Abuja to Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), with effect from October 30, 2016.
“The decision was made after a review of the airline’s operations to ensure the best utilisation of its aircraft fleet for its overall business objectives. The airline continues to serve Nigeria with a daily flight to and from Lagos,” the airline said in a statement.
It was learnt that though the suspension commenced yesterday based on the notification letter sent to the ministry of transportation by the airline, reservation from Abuja had since closed.
However, a source in Emirates told Dailytrust that the suspension was temporary and may soon reopen operation.
