The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Tuesday announced restoration of the ministerial approval of Emirates Airlines’ winter schedule barely a day after insisting it would do so if the nation is treated equally and fairly
The director general of NCAA, Capt. Musa Nuhu, in a letter dated December 21, 2021, and addressed to director general, General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in UAE said the approval was given in the wake of consultations with stakeholders and the letter from Dubai Civil Aviation Authority marked DCAA/ASA/N-3.016 dated 17 December, 2021 offering Air Peace daily slots at the Dubai Airport.
“Following further consultations with various stakeholders and the letter from Dubai Civil Aviation Authority with reference number DCAA/ASA/N-3.016 dated 17 December, 2021 offering Air Peace airline daily slots at Dubai Airport, I wish to inform you of the reinstatement of the ministerial approval of Emirates Airline Winter schedule.
“This approval is predicated on the compliance with the Dubai travel protocol released by Dubai airport on Friday 26 November, 2021 as it affects passengers travelling from Nigeria to UAE. Please be guided accordingly,” Nuhu wrote.
