Air Peace suspends flights to Dubai indefinitely from Nov 22

Air Peace has announced that it will be suspending flights to Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), with effect from November 22, over failure of the UAE authorities to issue visas to Nigerians.

The UAE authorities three weeks ago placed a visa ban on Nigerians and many other African countries.

The UAE carrier, Emirates, had earlier suspended its flights, citing the inability to repatriate ticket funds realised from the Nugeria-Dubai route.

Air Peace said on Monday the suspension of flight operations from Tuesday, November 22, 2022 would be until “further notice.”

It said in a statement, “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 Centre to attend to their concerns.”
