It has been reported that all travellers moving from Nigeria to Dubai United Arab Emirates, UAE, by air will be subjected to consider a different mode of transportation in days to come.
This follows as Nigeria’s indigenous airline, Air Peace, puts on hold all flight operations to the UAE indefinitely.
As reported by Vanguard, this is coming against the backdrop of non-issuance of visas by the UAE government to Nigerians.
Let it be known, that the country’s immigration authorities announced a visa ban to Nigerians in October without any cogent reason.
In regards to this development, the management of Air Peace in a statement said that, “We hereby inform the public, especially our Dubai passengers, that effective from Tuesday, November 22, we shall be suspending our Dubai operations till further notice.
“This is consequent upon the persisting non-issuance of visas to Nigerian travellers by the government of the United Arab Emirates and the accompanying inconveniences.
“Air Peace has been operating into 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 center to attend to their concerns.”
