Emirates Airlines management announced some days ago that it was
cancelling one of its twice-daily flights to Dubai. The explanation for the reduction
of scheduled was to allow for the upgrade of the runway of its Dubai
International Airport terminal from May 1 till July 20, 2014.
Emirates Airlines originally operated one flight per day from
Nigeria to Dubai, but increased the frequency to two in response to an upsurge
in passenger number.
There were initial anxiety as how Nigerian
passengers heading for Dubai will cope with the reduction of the flight but as
always Nigerians have had to make alternative arrangements to arrive at their
destination by making connecting flights through Abu Dhabi and other destinations
in the Middle East.
However the Managing Director, Gadeshire Travel and Tours
Limited, Mr. Gbenga Adebayo, said the reduction of flights by Emirates could
have posed some problems in the peak of the summer period.
So please if you are going to Dubai, beware and make the necessary arrangement on time.
