Your letter dated 5'"
February 20210n the above subject refers.
We have carefully read your
response to our letter NCAA/DG/AIR11/16/285 of 4th February 2021 and
arrived at the understanding that the UAE Government has granted approval to
Emirates airlines to withdraw the requirement for Rapid Antigen Testing (RDT)
prior to departure of Emirates flights from Nigeria with immediate effect until
such a time that the required infrastructure is made available by the Nigerian
Government.
Based on the foregoing, the
Presidential Task Force (PTF) has directed the immediate lifting of the suspension
of Emirates Airlines operations in Nigeria.
It is therefore expected that Emirates airlines will continue to comply with the directives of the PTF on COVID-19 and other protocols of the Federal Government of Nigeria. Emirates airlines will be duly informed of ongoing enforcement actions by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) with regards to the established non-compliances to PTF directives and protocols as enumerated in our letter of 4°" February 2021.
