Air Peace suspends Dubai flights over visa ban

Air Peace has suspended its flights to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over a visa ban placed on Nigerians seeking to visit the country.

The Star recalls that the UAE government, last month, announced a visa ban on Nigerian travellers.

Air Peace, in a statement issued by its management on Monday, said: “We hereby inform the public, especially our Dubai passengers, that effective from Tuesday, November 22, 2022, we shall be suspending our Dubai operations till further notice.

“This is consequent upon the persisting non-issuance of visas to Nigerian travellers by the government of the United Arab Emirates and the accompanying inconveniences.

“Air Peace has been operating into UAE even with the country’s recent travel restrictions, but given the heightening hurdles Nigerian travellers are facing in accessing the country, it has become imperative that we halt our operations to that destination.

“We shall provide further updates as the situation progresses. Passengers whose flights are affected by this development can call to attend to their concerns.”
