Emirates Flight Lands In MMIA, Lagos For First Time In Two Years

After a two-year break, Emirates, the flagship carrier of the United Arab Emirates, has officially resumed operations in Lagos.

This is coming two years after the suspension of operation by the airline over several issues including unresolved trapped funds belonging to the airline.

The flight EK 783 landed at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, on Tuesday at 3:32 pm, arriving at the old terminal with several empty seats on its Boeing 777-300ER.

Despite the capacity to hold 392 passengers, the exact number of passengers aboard could not immediately be confirmed; however, eyewitnesses noted the visible presence of many unoccupied seats.

This sparse passenger load highlights the challenges airlines are facing as they resume operations post-pandemic and other operational suspensions.
