The minister had earlier announced the Federal Government had concluded with the airline to resume operations in Abuja on November 1 but later disclosed that the resumption was not feasible.

However, Emirates is yet to release an official confirmation of its resumption.

The airline had in October 2016 announced that it would suspend its four flights per week from Abuja to Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Part of the reasons it halted operations were inability to access foreign exchange for its operations, high cost of aviation fuel and the state of the Abuja Airport runway at that time.
