Breaking: Nigeria To Restart Cargo Flights With Saudi Arabia, Resolves Foreign Airlines’ Cash Issues....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
On Monday, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, announced a significant development in Nigeria’s aviation sector: cargo flights between Nigeria and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will soon resume. This announcement was made during a ministerial press briefing in Abuja to mark President Bola Tinubu’s first year in office.
Keyamo revealed that the decision was finalized during a recent visit to Saudi Arabia, where he met with his counterpart. “I have good news for you from Saudi Arabia. I met my counterpart in Saudi Arabia and we have agreed to resume cargo flights,” Keyamo stated.
He emphasized that these flights had been suspended for an extended period, but the new agreement will restore cargo services, enhancing trade and logistical connections between the two nations.
In addition to this, Keyamo addressed another critical issue on Monday: the clearance of foreign airlines’ cash that had been trapped in Nigeria. This resolution has paved the way for Emirates Airlines to return to Nigerian skies.
Emirates had previously announced on May 16, 2024, its plans to recommence flights to Nigerian airports starting October 1, 2024, after a two-year hiatus. The service, operated by a Boeing 777-300ER, will see flights departing from Dubai and arriving in Lagos, with return journeys following suit.
The Minister expressed hope that these developments will boost the aviation sector and strengthen Nigeria’s international connections.
