Emirates to resume services to Lagos
Emirates will resume flights to Nigeria from 1 October 2024, running a daily service between Lagos and Dubai and offering customers more choice and connectivity from Nigeria’s largest city to, and through, Dubai. The service will be operated using a Boeing 777-300ER.
With the resumption of operations to Nigeria, the airline’s cargo arm, Emirates SkyCargo, will further bolster the trade relationship by supplying more than 300 t of bellyhold cargo capacity, in and out of Lagos every week.
Emirates SkyCargo will support Nigerian businesses by exporting their goods via its hub in Dubai, into the UAE, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Bahrain, among others, with anticipated commodities such as kola nuts, food and beverages, and urgent courier material. Emirates SkyCargo will also import vital goods such as pharmaceuticals and electronics as well as general cargo from the UAE, India, and Hong Kong. (cj)
