After several months of stopping their service, Emirates will resume its services to Nigeria, offering daily flights between Lagos and Dubai from 1st October 2024.



This renewed service will enhance connectivity and provide more travel options for customers traveling to and through Dubai from Nigeria’s largest city.


The daily flights will be operated using a Boeing 777-300ER. Flight EK783 will depart Dubai at 0945hrs, arriving in Lagos at 1520hrs. The return flight, EK784, will leave Lagos at 1730hrs and arrive in Dubai at 0510hrs the next day. Tickets are now available for booking on [Emirates' official website](http://emirates.com) or through travel agents.


Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, expressed excitement about the resumption: “We are excited to resume our services to Nigeria. The Lagos-Dubai route has traditionally been popular with customers in Nigeria, and we hope to reconnect leisure and business travelers to Dubai and beyond to our network of over 140 destinations. We thank the Nigerian government for their partnership and support in re-establishing this route and look forward to welcoming passengers back onboard.”


With the resumption of operations to Nigeria, Emirates will serve 19 gateways in Africa with 157 flights per week from Dubai. The airline’s extensive reach in Africa is further extended through codeshare and interline partnerships with airlines such as South African Airways, Airlink, Royal Air Maroc, and Tunis Air.


As a major economic hub, Nigeria, particularly Lagos, has developed strong bilateral trade relations with the UAE over the years. The daily passenger flights will also boost trade, with Emirates SkyCargo offering over 300 tonnes of cargo capacity weekly in and out of Lagos. This service will support Nigerian businesses by exporting goods such as Kola Nuts, food and beverages, and urgent courier materials to key markets like the UAE, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Bahrain. Additionally, Emirates SkyCargo will import essential goods such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and general cargo from markets including the UAE, India, and Hong Kong.


The Dubai and Nigeria relationship got worst in 2022, which led to the stoppage of service by the Emirate airline.
