Emirates Airline has suspended flights operations to Nigeria over its inability to repatriate funds trapped in the country.
The airline said this in statement to TheCable on Thursday.
According to the statement, the suspension took effect from October, 29 2022.
This is second time the airline will be suspending flights to the West African country over its $85 million revenue.
The first time was in August, 2022.
Foreign airlines have been struggling to repatriate their earnings of more than $500 million.
Although Nigeria’s foreign exchange crisis has made it difficult for the funds to be repatriated, the federal government released $265 million to airlines operating in the country to settle outstanding ticket sales.
