Emirates Airlines has officially resumed flight operations in Nigeria after a two-year suspension, with the airline’s flight EK 783 landing at Murtala Muhammad International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos on Tuesday at 3:32 pm, Okay.ng reports.

The flight’s arrival at the old terminal of the MMIA marks the Middle East airline’s return to Nigeria, following a suspension of services in November 2022 due to the airline’s inability to repatriate $85 million in revenue trapped in the country.

This was the second time Emirates halted operations in Nigeria, with the first suspension occurring in August 2022.

Prior to the flight, Moha Madugu, a Senior First Officer at Emirates, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his excitement at operating the airline’s inaugural return flight to Nigeria.

“A very special day for me today, I have the honour of operating our inaugural return flight to Lagos, Nigeria. Today I will be flying both the Emirates and Nigerian flag very high. Thank you, Emirates. A flight time of slightly over eight hours today. #EkoOniBaje,” Madugu posted.
