Emirates welcomes the Central Bank of Nigeria’s move to release a portion of our blocked funds, and we continue to engage with the Nigerian authorities to ensure the repatriation of our outstanding and future funds may continue without hindrance.

In light of these developments, Emirates will reinstate flights to/from Lagos from 11 September, which is the earliest date for us to coordinate the smooth and safe resumption of operations. It will also provide travellers with sufficient time to plan and book their journeys.

We constantly review our network operations and will adjust our flying schedules to respond to market demand and other operational factors.

Customers can book their travel to/from Lagos via travel agents or directly on Emirates.com.

Customers travelling to/from Nigeria whose previous bookings were cancelled can contact their travel agents for rebooking or refunds.  Customers who have booked directly with Emirates may contact the local office for rebooking, or visit emirates.com/refund to request a refund.
