As part of measures to curtail the Delta variant of COVID-19, the Dubai-based carrier, Emirates Airlines, has extended the suspension of flights from Nigeria until September 5, 2021.

Making the announcement on Sunday, the airline said passengers who have been to, or connected through Nigeria in the last 14 days will not be permitted on any of its flights bound for Dubai.

It disclosed that the affected flight bookings have been cancelled.

Persecondnews recalls that the Dubai-based carrier had earlier announced that it would suspend flights from Nigeria to Dubai till August 28.

“If your flight has been cancelled or impacted by route suspensions due to Covid-19 restrictions, you don’t need to call us immediately for rebooking.

“You can simply hold on to your Emirates ticket and when flights resume, get in touch with your booking office or us to make new travel plans,” the airline stated.

It urged travelers to continue to monitor the airline’s official website for updates and flight availability.
