Nigerian Carrier, Air Peace has suspended flights to the United Arab Emirates till further notice following the non-issuance of Visa to Nigerians by the Middle East country.
Emirate Airline, a UAE Carrier, had cancelled its operations in Nigeria alleging its inability to repatriate ticket funds in addition to the reduced number passengers on the route.
In a statement Monday, the Nigerian Carrier said it would be suspending operations with effect from Tuesday, November 22, 2022, ‘till further notice.’
“This is consequent upon the persisting non-issuance of visas to Nigerian travelers by the Government of the United Arab Emirates and the accompanying inconveniences.
“Air Peace has been operating into the UAE even with the country’s recent travel restrictions, but given the heightening hurdles Nigerian travellers are facing in accessing the country, it has become imperative that we halt our operations to that destination. We shall provide further updates as the situation progresses.
“Passengers whose flights are affected by this development can mail our Call Centre to attend to their concerns.”
It would be recalled that the UAE authorities had placed a Visa ban, placing all applications on-hold until issues between the UAE Government and the Nigerian Government were resolved.
