Title: dunianews


1
This was contained in a Nigerian Civil Aviation
Authority (NCAA) circular issued on February 4.
The Nigerian government has slammed Emirates
Airlines outbound flights with a 72-hour
suspension.
It explained that the suspension followed a
breach of guidelines placed by the Presidential
Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19. The airline is
accused of airlifting passengers from Nigeria,
using rapid antigen tests done at laboratories
which are not approved by regulatory
authorities. The circular read, Based on the
foregoing and to enable the Nigerian government
to put in place the needed infrastructure and
logistics for COVID-19 RDT testing for departing
passengers, the PTF has directed that Emirates
Airlines should either accept passengers without
RDT pending when the infrastructure and
logistics are put in place or suspend its flights
to and from Nigeria until such a time when the
required infrastructure and logistics are fully
established and implemented. Emirates Airlines
has not been in compliance with the two options
given by the PTF as records obtained from
Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA)
indicates that Emirates Airlines operated the
flights from both Murtala Mohammed International
Airport, Lagos and Nnamdi Azikwe International
Airport, Abuja.
