The Management of Air Peace on Thursday announced that the UAE Government had stopped the airlifting of passengers from Nigeria to Dubai as part of its COVID-19 measures.
TheNewsGuru.com, TNG reports that the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 had last week threatened to suspend flight operations from UAE and The Netherlands.
The decision, according to the PTF is due to the new COVID-19 protocols introduced by the countries for travellers.
The two countries recently asked passengers from Nigeria to do a PCR test four hours before departing Nigeria.
Confirming the new development in a statement, Air Peace Spokesperson, Mr Stanley Olisa said that flights bringing Nigerians back from UAE were not affected.
