Emirates emphasises Nigeria-UAE relations with resumed flights operations

AS the Emirates Airline resumed its daily flights, it notes that this marks a new chapter in Nigeria-UAE relations and opening fresh opportunities for Nigerians eager to travel and do business in Dubai.

In a statement, the Chief Commercial Officer of  Emirates, Adnan Kazim,  expressed the airline’s excitement, saying, “We are thrilled to reconnect Nigeria to Dubai and our global network. This route has always been popular, and we’re eager to welcome Nigerians back on board.”

Speaking further he expressed optimism that the resumption of  Emirates flights,  is more than just restored travel, “it’s a symbol of the growing partnership between Nigeria and the UAE. This strengthened connection will unlock new markets, boost tourism, and create jobs, driving mutual prosperity in both countries.”

The resumption of Emirates flights also comes with vast economic benefits for Nigeria.” With Emirates SkyCargo offering over 300 tonnes of cargo capacity weekly, Nigerian businesses can easily export goods to Dubai and beyond, strengthening trade ties between the two nations. This boost is critical as Nigeria continues to diversify its economy, moving beyond oil into sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and technology,” the statement said.

“There are three classes of visas available: 96-hour transit, 30-day, and 60-day visas. All applications must be processed through the official website for Dubai visas, ensuring a seamless process for travellers,” it added. He noted that applications can be made through platforms like Fly Emirates or preferred travel agent.

“But don’t forget to verify your documents at verify.documentverificationhub.ae to avoid any delays. After document verification, you’ll receive your Document Verification Number (DVN), which will fast-track your visa application,” the statement said.
