Nigeria Urges Emirates And Other Airlines Not To Cut Flights


Nigeria has appealed to Emirates Airline not to stop flying from Dubai to the capital, Abuja, saying it was trying to deal with a currency crisis and fuel shortages that have hit a number of airlines' operations.

Last week, Emirates said it would suspend its four times a week service between Dubai and Abuja from 30 October.
Nigeria's Minister of State for Aviation Hadi Sirika said he had told an Emirates West African executive that the government was aware of the challenges facing airlines and was working hard to resolve them.
